Over There Frank Freidel From April, 1917 until November, 1918, America sent some two million soldiers to France to "make the world safe for democracy" in World War I. It was the first great overseas conflict for the United States, which with victory found itself the leading power on the world stage. Here is the story of the American experience in World War I, told largely in the words of the soldiers and sailors themselves. Over 50 compelling photographs augment the text. The late Frank Freidel was Professor of American History at Harvard University and is the author of The Splendid Little War and Franklin D. Roosevelt: A Rendezvous with Destiny. $18.95 224 pages, Paperback 6 x 9 50 black & white photographs, 8 maps ISBN: 1-58080-106-4
