Book excerpt: "My publisher ...thinks ... that quite a number of our great generals will be seriously disturbed in their dignity on seeing what liberties my artist has taken with them. ... This work was not written to offend, but to amuse and instruct little people. I have too much respect for our great generals to believe that they will feel offended at what I have said of them. Some of our little generals may perhaps take exception to the positions my artist has assigned them, and feel disposed to make war on him. ...Any close observer of war must have seen that these little generals were always more fierce in making war on writers and artists than courageous in facing the enemy." -- Preface.
