"The Guns of Europe" by Joseph A. Altsheler is one of the most widely admired romances written by the author; it is the first of three connected romances, of which "The Forest of Swords" and "The Hosts of the Air" are to be respectively the second and third, dealing with the world war in Europe.
The author was a witness to the struggle during that time and he has provided the real picture of the war and the effects of the war on the world. He was in Vienna the day Austria-Hungary declared war upon Servia, thus setting the torch that lighted the general conflagration. Returning westward, he reached Munich the day Germany declared war upon Russia. He remained in Germany nearly a month, having witnessed in turn the Austrian and German mobilizations, and then arrived in England in time to see the gathering of the British Empire's armed hosts.
He was also, upon his return, in Quebec when the greatest colony of the British was rallying to their support.
