From School Library Journal:

YA In his companion volume to Voices from the Great War (Watts, 1984), Vansittart offers a selection of commentaries, excerpts and poetry from rulers, politicians, novelists and poets on European events between 1870 and 1914, searching for the possible causes of World War I. There is praise of war from Prussia and quotations from Maugham, van Gogh, Churchill and Tolstoy. Arrangement is by decade; a list of contributors provides brief identification of the personalities. High-school students doing research about any of the eras represented will find this an invaluable primary reference source. Louise Y. Modlin, Sidwell Friends Middle School, Washington, D . C .
