Book excerpt: Excerpt from General Joffre and His Battles The writer of the following pages is one of the many talented and devoted young Frenchmen who, loving life, now hold it lightly compared to their love of France. It has been Captain Recouly's good fortune to have a share in much of the fighting, while his position on the General Staff has brought him into close relation with the men by whom the fighting is planned. Readers of Scribner's Magazine during the past year know him as "Captain X," and may be glad to have his articles collected in a permanent form. He also kept a journal while in the field during 1915, which was published as "La Bataille dans la Foret," under the pen-name of "Jean Lery."
