Author: Gordon-Smith, Gordon

Condition: New

Contains a description of the Serbian Army's retreat from the banks of the Danube and the Timok towards the Adriatic Coast during the fall of 1914. The author is a veteran of English journalism, and personally followed the principle phases of the military drama which he describes in an absorbing, clear, measured manner, stripped of all unnecessary detail. He accompanied the Serbian Army in its long and painful march and gives us direct testimony to the difficulties, the almost superhuman efforts and the strength of endurance of the Serbian soldier during those terrible weeks. The Serbian Relief Movement and it's dealings with the typhus outbreak in 1915 is well documented. Includes a preface by M.S. Boshkovitch as well as 32 photographs and maps.
