The Forest of Swords- A Story of Paris and the Marne

The Forest of Swords, while an independent story, is based upon the World War, continues the fortunes of John Scott, Phillip Lannes, and their friends who have appeared in "The Guns of Europe". As was stated in the first volume, the author was in Austria and Germany for a month after the war began, and then went to England. He saw the arrival of the Emperor, Francis Joseph, in Vienna, the first striking event in the gigantic struggle, and witnessed the mobilization of their armies by three great nations.
