Description:
English observer because of the shame of the things he saw and heard, and with a fair understanding of the psychology of the men of the provocation against them, their natural indignation, their sense of fear (which is the father of cruelty) amidst a hostile people, the causes which made them see red and go out for vengeance whose acts he records and, justly, condemns. But it is not those soldiers, he says, whom history will gibbet, but the statesmen who sacrificed the lives of the soldiers in a mean and unnecessary war. Critics of this book will doubtless say that Mr. Martin took a great deal of trouble to search out the facts

But it is not those soldiers, he says, whom history will gibbet, but the statesmen who sacrificed the lives of the soldiers in a mean and unnecessary war. Critics of this book will doubtless say that Mr. Martin took a great deal of trouble to search out the facts about English reprisals and brutalities and did not bother his head, or his heart, about I rish acts of murder and vengeance.
