Reviews
" This is the most mesmerizing book about World War I that I have read in a long time. It is the saga of American idealism's first confrontation with the tragedy of the Great War. Best of all it is a story that has never been told, much less understood. David Hanna has written a book to be read and remembered when we try to understand America's role in a chaotic world." -- Thomas Fleming, author of The Illusion of Victory: America in World War I "A brilliantly researched book that is a moving tribute to the American citizens of 1914 who fought in the French military for freedom and liberty. David Hanna gives the reader keys to better understand them and who they were. Their deeds, their achievement, and their spirit are living in this book--lest we forget them." -- Yves Fohlen, lecturer and guide at the Musée du Chemin des Dames-Caverne du Dragon in Chemin des Dames, France "As in his previous book, Knights of the Sea, David Hanna is drawn to men and causes of a chivalrous nature. In Rendezvous with Death he writes of intrepid American men--black and white, rich and poor--who, in the early stages of World War I, are compelled to fight for ideas and values and not be passive spectators at the demise of European civilization. "Hanna leads the reader on a journey to a pivotal moment in history when great European armies and divergent ideologies clashed, locked in a desperate and drawn out struggle. August 1914 also brought together a mix of idealistic Americans in Paris who decided to make a stand for a cause they also saw as their own. The Americans Hanna introduces are a disparate group, but all are noble in spirit and deed and will make any reader reflect on those harrowing four years--and even on the challenges of our current age. "The research is meticulous, including on-site visits to European battlegrounds, interviews with modern pilots of World War I aircraft, and even a conversation with an American veteran of the French Foreign Legion. Hanna's World War I book--part gripping world history and part collection of inspiring personal life stories--is a fully engaging read. Indeed, any American will feel proud reading this seldom-told story of his fellow countrymen's spirit and sacrifice in the bloody fields of France." -- Nicholas Valldejuli, 1er Régiment étranger de cavalerie, 1er Régiment étranger, Légion Etrangère (ret.)
Synopsis
They volunteered for the French, but they were fighting for the future of civilization. Before America joined World War I, a small group of Americans volunteered for the French Foreign Legion to help defeat the Central Powers. Historian David Hanna profiles seven of these volunteers: a poet, an artist, a boxer, a stunt pilot, a college student, a veteran of the Spanish American War, and an advertising executive. All seven men were united in courage; and some, like poet Alan Seeger, paid the ultimate sacrifice. Before he was killed in battle, Seeger penned the immortal words that inspired this book's title: I've a rendezvous with Death At midnight in some flaming town, When Spring trips north again this year, And I to my pledged word am true, I shall not fail that rendezvous.
