"Mr. Allen pictures modern warfare in all its folly and futility. The fine simplicity of style and method serves to deepen a hundredfold the poignancy and power of this indictment of the war system and of those who are responsible for it. Especially is it a terrible warning to ecclesiastical systems, which have been all too easily bewitched by a false nationalism." --from the dust jacket.
