"The Last Million: How They Invaded France—and England" by Ian Hay is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the experiences of American soldiers during World War I as they travel across the ocean to support the Allied forces. Its intriguing narrative delves into themes of camaraderie, cultural encounters, and the societal changes brought about by the war. The opening of the narrative sets the stage aboard a troop ship filled with American soldiers making their way to England and then to France. The author vividly describes the atmosphere on the ship, highlighting the diverse backgrounds of the soldiers, their interactions with British officers, and their playful moments of camaraderie. The soldiers' feelings of homesickness and excitement are palpable, contrasting with the serious undertones of the war they are heading into. As they traverse different elements of their journey—from boxing matches for entertainment to humorous reflections on their British counterparts—the initial chapters paint a lively picture of their youthful enthusiasm tempered by the gravity of their mission.
