Summary "Our Part in the Great War" by Arthur Gleason is a historical account written during the early 20th century. This book addresses the contributions and experiences of Americans during World War I, particularly focusing on their humanitarian efforts in France. Gleason highlights the valor and dedication of American volunteers who served as ambulance drivers, nurses, and support workers in the war-torn regions, offering a heartfelt tribute to both those who served and the suffering French populace. The opening of the work sets the stage for the American involvement in World War I by contrasting the historical American character with a new, evolving identity marked by diverse backgrounds and views amidst the war's upheaval. It elaborates on how a segment of the American population felt compelled to assist the Allies, despite a prevailing tide of neutrality. Personal anecdotes and descriptions of the challenges faced by ambulance drivers in the field serve to humanize the narrative, illustrating the harsh realities of war while showcasing the spirit of solidarity and sacrifice exhibited by these young volunteers. It reveals a deep commitment to humanitarianism, emphasizing that even amid chaos, the ideals of freedom and fellowship shine through the darkest of times.
