"The A. E. F.: With General Pershing and the American Forces" by Heywood Broun is a historical account written in the early 20th century during World War I. The book recounted the experiences and observations of American troops, known as the American Expeditionary Forces (A.E.F.), as they joined their French allies in the war effort against Germany. It presents a firsthand look at the camaraderie between American and French soldiers, along with insights into the leadership of General Pershing. At the start of the narrative, the tone is lively and engaging as Broun describes a tense encounter with a German submarine during the journey across the Atlantic. The reader is introduced to the ship's passengers, primarily ambulance drivers and nurses, who react with excitement and determination. The scene transitions to their arrival in France, where they are met with cheers and curiosity from the local population. Broun captures the initial chaos and joy of the Americans as they navigate cultural differences and adapt to their new surroundings while preparing to take on the challenges of war. The beginning effectively sets the stage for the unfolding story of American forces in France, highlighting their blend of bravery and humor in the face of adversity.
