"Life in the trenches in all its gritty gore and surreality, revisited by a laconic Missouri infantryman whose record rivaled Sergeant Alvin York's."--American History Magazine"A most worthwhile read."--Stand To!"Barkley's autobiographical work does an exceptional job of conveying his story to readers, using early twentieth-century American language with no holds barred. . . . The greatest benefit this book provides, aside from the firsthand account of Barkley's Congressional Medal of Honor actions is its insight into the First World War from the vantage of a frontline soldier and the camaraderie that existed in small units. . . . Scarlet Fields is worth reading for both general historians interested in World War I as well as those looking for specific insight into the combat psyche of the U.S. frontline soldier on the western front in 1918."--H-Net Reviews "An absorbing and exciting account of World War I combat and one of the most important American war narratives . . . receives a superb new treatment in this edition, with an enlightening introduction and notes by Steven Trout. . . . A must-read for anyone interested in soldiers' experiences of warfare."--Edward G. Lengel, author of To Conquer Hell: The Meuse-Argonne, 1918"Barkley was one of the war's outstanding heroes and his memoir is one of the most readable and detailed accounts of an American soldier's experiences to emerge from it."--Edward M. Coffman, author of The War to End All Wars"A laconic, uncompromising combat memoir by a young Missourian who took quiet pride in his brutal skills."--David D. Lee, author of Sergeant York: An American Hero"A gripping combat narrative that portrays the war as both horrific slaughter and rite of passage."--Jennifer D. Keene, author of World War I: The American Soldier Experience
