Caught by the Turks (Classic Reprint) ~ Paperback ~ Francis Yeats-Brown

Excerpt from Caught by the Turks In this tale are laughter, horror, adventure, and a lively spirit that makes the best of everything - everything being at times pretty bad. There are moments when the reader asks himself, I wonder what I should have done? I wonder if I could have got through this? And perhaps, too, he may ask himself, as I am often led to do, How much, after all, are we Americans to be congratulated upon having had to swallow so mild a dose of the war? It is a true tale, this one, not a tale invented; chiefly in this does it differ from those narrations of spies, escapes, and alarms which fall from the pen of fiction. The young soldier who chronicles his experience here is but one among the legion of the living to whom suddenly the vision of life became a vision of death. It chanced that he lived to tell his bit of disaster, peril, and reprieve. Thousands of such bits will never be told, even by the living. Think of those which some of the dead might relate!
