Through detailed descriptions, Palmer encapsulates the spirit and tenacity of the soldiers engaged in this monumental conflict. The opening of the account establishes Palmer's credentials as an observer and participant in the Meuse-Argonne offensive, detailing his unique perspective as someone who had a key role in press relations and was privy to the actions of various divisions. He discusses the changing strategies leading up to the battle, emphasizing the importance of readiness and the element of surprise against a beleaguered German army.
