The Bombardment of Reims

"The Bombardment of Reims" by Barr Ferree is a history book. The attendant destruction of Reims' cathedral is an event that has particularly excited the indignation of the civilized world. The sacrifice has seemed so wanton and so unnecessary that the souls of those who have not known the great church by personal observation have cried out in indignation against the outrage, while to those who have known it, its long-continued passion has aroused the feeling of an intense personal loss. No other episode of the Great War has accomplished such complete destruction of such a great work of art.
