biography and critical appraisal of their recorded legacy. In

""After much persuasion, Mr. Kreisler reluctantly acceded to the
suggestion that he write out his personal memories of the war for
publication. He has completed his narrative in the midst of grave
difficulties, writing it piecemeal in hotels and railway trains in
the course of a concert tour through the country. It is offered by
the publishers to the public with confidence that it will be found
one of the most absorbing and informing narratives of the war that
has yet appeared."" This book is part of the World War One
Centenary series; creating, collating and reprinting 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. Each publication also
includes brand new introductory essays and a timeline to help the
reader place the work in its historical context.
