An Entire World Against Us The History of the World War in Pictures Introduced by Werner Beumelburg Edited by Wilhelm Reetz Along with a preface by Werner Beumelburg and a few sentences from the editor Wilhelm Reetz there are no other words in this text—only pictures! Of more than 60,000 photos taken by frontline soldiers only the 340 most powerful have been chosen. No individual soldier, no individual troop division, no individual battle and no particular heroics are emphasized here, only the frontline soldier to whom all the world must give praise. General von Mackensen writes: The "History of the World War in Pictures" will certainly find a place of honor among the almost completely filled section on the World War not just because of the impressive language of the pictures but also due to the preface by Werner Beumelburg. The silent heroism of the German frontline soldier during the World War cannot be emphasized enough for the present or future generations. I hope this book enjoys wide circulation.
