The Human Slaughter-House: Scenes from the War that Is Sure to Come:
126 Pages. Complete and Unabridged
"It is a terrible book, fascinating in its merciless photography of the horrors of war. I do not wonder that the German government was frightened by the huge sale of the book."
—John Spargo.
The HUMAN SLAUGHTER-HOUSE
By WILHELM LAMSZUS
Translated by Oakley Williams
With Introduction by Alfred Noyes
The story of the man who is called from his office desk and proves helpless, bewildered, and in horror through slaughter till he goes mad among other madmen, makes a direct and terrible appeal to the imagination.
Lamszus in this vivid narrative has brought forward a new idea; he proves incontestably that changed conditions have made war something it has never been in the past—have robbed it of its only possible defense, its glamor, romance and "manly virtue."
Modern inventions have turned "the field of honor" into the "human slaughter-house.''
"Will become one of the holy books of humanity. ... I would this book were to reach the hands of millions. Every mother ought to read it. And every man too, whether old or young, to form his opinion of the present day condition of things in which—an outworn atavism—war and preparations for war still continue to be the focus of political life."
—Alfred H. Fried, Winner of the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1911.
