It was the first major mobilization for war of United States forces since the Civil War. And quite a mobilization it was - 4,355,000 United States forces were mobilized. The United States had resisted joining what many people considered to be a European war in 1914, 1915 and 1916. Even the sinking of the Lusitania on May 7, 1915 with 128 American deaths didn't prod the public to demand entry into the war. It would take unrestricted submarine warfare in early 1917, as well as the Zimmerman telegram of January 19, 1917 (which revealed that Germany was encouraging Mexico to go to war with the United States) to prod the sleeping giant known as the United States to join the war. On April 6, 1917, the United States declared war on Germany. The book contains 57 illustrations.
