The Atlantic Bookshelf: A Guide to Good Books

FOR the past thirty-seven years, wherever there was war, revolution, or persecution on a large scale, there Henry W. Nevinson was to be found, notebook and glasses in hand. He went out to the Greek-Turkish War in ‘97: exposed the Portuguese slave trade; was present at street fighting in Moscow; attended campaigns in Transvaal. Morocco, and Albania; was wounded while reporting an attack at Gallipoli. The twenty-five books under his signature are the sensitive record of a classicist and a man who, with the unflagging spirit of Roland, saw history in its making.
