As They Saw Us

'As They Saw Us' is a compelling examination of the United States’ role in the Great War from the distinct perspectives of European military and political leaders.

By bridging the gap between American self-perception and European reality, the book offers a nuanced look at the geopolitical landscape of the early 20th century. It delves into the cultural clashes and mutual admirations that arose when the Old World met the New on the battlefields of France.'As They Saw Us' remains an essential resource for students of military history and international relations, capturing a transformative moment in global history when the United States emerged as a preeminent world power.
