This vintage book contains Rowland's World War One novel, "A Tale of the Great European War". This book is part of the World War One Centenary series, which aims to create, collate and reprint new and old works of poetry, fiction, autobiography and analysis. The series forms a commemorative tribute to mark the passing of one of the world's bloodiest wars, offering new perspectives on this tragic yet fascinating period of human history. "A Tale of the Great European War" is highly recommended for fans of war fiction and would make for a worthy addition to any collection. Contents include: "The Scouts' Camp", "War is Declared", "'Schmidt'", "The Spy-Hunt", "The Escape", "Closing the Net", "A Clever Capture", "'Maxwell's Eagles'", "The Eagles in France", "A Brush with Uhlans", "The Advance Guard", "A Skirmish", "Tapping the Enemy's Wire", "The Hornet's Nest", et cetera. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on World War One in literature.
