Remembrance Day is in the of-
fing. It seems as good a time as
any to mention a couple of books
that deal with World War I, that
vast, brutal, bloody conflict which
was to end war forever (ironic
laughter in the wings from the
Kaiser, Hitler and Joe Stalin).
The Guns of August, by Barbara
Tuchman, is a fascinating account
of the incredible events of the first
month of the Kaiser's War. Old
sweats and history buffs will read
it with deep interest,
That war is almost ancient his-
tory to the youngsters of today.
Their grandfathers fought in it.
When hen I was a kid, it was very
re-
cent, very real, Most of my numer-
ous uncles .had been privates in
the Canadian army. As a boy, I
used to come across souvenirs in
our attic: belts containing the in-
scription "Gott Mit Uns"; a German
spiked helmet; an Iron Cross, sec-
ond class; a water canteen made in
Munich.
This hook reversed some of my
ideas, confirmed others. Somewhere
in my reading, over the years, I
had picked up the idea that the
stories of German atrocities in Bel-
gium were largely based on Allied
propaganda, and fanned by the
hot winds of patriotism blowing
in 1914.
Apparently I was wrong. Mrs.
Tuchman, writing coolly and ob-
jectively almost 50 years later.
quotes chapter and verse to reveal
that the German high command de-
liberately pursued a policy of ter-
ror in an attempt to enjoy a. quick
victory,
Tre town of Andenne> was burn-
ed to ashes and 110 persons shot,
not by rioting, drunken soldiery,
but on the order of the command-
ing genera}. At Taurines, 384 civil-
ians were shot, At Dinant, (112
men, women and children, 50 of
them taken from church, as it was
a Sunday, were cut down by ma-
chine guns. The campaign of mur-
der, arson and pillage culminated
in the sack of the ancient Belgian
city of Louvain, where the uni-
versity, with its world-famous cel -
1 lection of hooks, was burned.
The Germans failed to learn
then the lesson that terror breeds
resistance faster than it quells it.
Thirty years later, they were up to
the same tricks, and with the sane
excuse -• - that the victims had
brought it upon themselves by their
•stupid ingratitude and their stub -
horn opposition to German "law
and order'."
* 1
However, I was not wring about
another idea I've held for a long
tine -that most generals should he
in strait jackets, This book merely
confirms my opinion. Not that it
needed much confirming, with Gen-
eral Walker egging on segregation-
ists in the south, General Mont-
gomery s'>unding off on world af-
fairs, of which he apparently
knows next to nothing, and various
other old generals writing books .in
which they explain that they were
right and all other generals were
wrong,
A book like this one rust he
written from time to time, to blow
away the smoke -screen thrown up
by the charges and counter-
charges of retired generals more
concerned with their place in his-
tory than with the truth,
The Guns of August reveals in-
eptitude. stupidity, timourousness
and viciousness in high places. But
it also illuminates the flashes of
the human spirit contained in such
words as valor, honor and heroism,
in such deeds as gallant Belgium's
stand against the bully Germany.
and the dash to the Marne, when
the taxis ')f Paris carried straight
to the front the men who turned
the tide.

Early casualties foretold the
sickening slaughter that was to fol-
low. In the month of August, 1914,
France lost almost 300.000 men.
Later, some battles were to kill 50,-
000 in a day.

spots, but hilarious in others, The
last chapter, describing the wed-
