Project Gutenberg 2006-06-04 Public domain in the USA. 355 Palmer, Frederick 1873 1958 17006753 My Second Year of the War Produced by Rick Niles, Graeme Mackreth and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "My Second Year of the War" by Frederick Palmer is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the author's observations and experiences during the second year of World War I, with a particular focus on the dynamics of military leadership and the soldier's perspective on the war's unfolding events. Palmer intends to shed light on both the operational challenges faced by the Allied forces and the broader human experience of war. The opening of the book begins with the author reflecting on the American perspective on the war while he returns to London. He keenly observes the disconnect between the realities of wartime Europe, where vast numbers of soldiers were needed to hold the line, and the American mentality, characterized by business-as-usual attitudes in the face of global conflict. As he returns to the front, he notes significant changes in military leadership and organization, emphasizing the adaptation of the British Army to mobilizing new recruits, understanding the psychological impacts of war, and the strategic considerations that guide military operations. Palmer introduces prominent leaders like Sir William Robertson and Sir Douglas Haig, while also sharing poignant anecdotes that highlight the emotional and physical toll of the war, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of the conflicts and strategies that defined this significant period in history.
