O knihe
To End, All War is a thoroughly researched war novel with inspiring characters. A letter he found tucked inside an old book he bought in an antique store motivated the author's interests in the Great War (WWI). Written in 1918 by Monroe, the chauffeur of an affluent family in Baltimore, the letter appears word for word within the novel. The novel brings three American siblings into the Great War-John, Michael, and Catherine Morris. John, the eldest, volunteers to become a flyer in Lafayette Escadrille before America enters the war. In June, 1918, Monroe drives Michael and Catherine to New York. A surgeon, Michael is sent to France and assigned to an aid station. Catherine, a graduate of Bryn Marr, translates French documents for the US State Department. She is sent to Paris ostensibly to work at the US Embassy. She is made a counterspy in a French town near the Swiss border. Catherine soon draws the notice of a devious German spy. Monroe's son, James Jefferson, known as JJ, joins New York's 15th Regiment without the knowledge of the Morris family. His regiment became the French 369th Infantry Regiment by white officers under French military authority. The novel follows all their adventures in the United States, England, France, and both on and over the Western Front.
