Prepared by the American Battle Monuments Commission.
United States Government Printing Office, Washington, 1938.
Original 1938 hardcover edition with the COMPLETE ORIGINAL FOLDING MAP SET housed in the built-in rear cover pocket.
An extensive official U.S. Government reference documenting American military operations and battlefields in Europe during World War I.
The volume contains hundreds of pages of battlefield history, campaign information, photographs, diagrams, maps, American military cemeteries and monuments.
Covers major American operations and battlefields including Meuse-Argonne, St. Mihiel, Aisne-Marne and other important World War I campaigns.
COMPLETE MAP SET:
The original large folding battlefield maps are present and stored in the book\'s original rear-cover map pocket.
This is an important completeness point, as surviving copies are frequently encountered with one or more of the separately stored folding maps missing.
Black textured hardcover binding with gilt U.S. eagle and gilt “American Armies and Battlefields in Europe” lettering.
Front endpaper contains a period handwritten inscription dated June 13, 1940. The identity/signature has not been independently established or authenticated and is therefore not represented as an autograph of any particular historical figure.
Also contains an old period newspaper clipping/remnant attached inside the front portion of the book.
