Excerpt from The International Military Digest Annual: A Review of the Current Literature of Military Science for 1915, Cumulated From the Monthly Issues of the International Military DigestObviously, it will be more difficult than ever before to keep abreast of current military literature. The major portion printed in foreign languages will not be accessible to many officers through unfamiliarity with the language or through lack of access to the periodicals themselves. Moreover. Even if the difficulty of language were solved, the average officer would be overwhelmed by the mere volume of the matter available, and thus shut off from the professional lessons that have been learned and from the questions that are being discussed. Yet in some way, both for the members of the military profession and for the layman as well, means should be provided for taking accurate measure of the events and after effects of the colossal struggle now raging.International military digest has undertaken to solve for its readers the problems of volume and of language by covering the whole field and presenting the result in concise, readable, impartial and informative sum maries, classified, arranged, and cross-referenced so as to be easily accessible.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
