Get The Boys Out of The Trenches History Paperback Book by Burnet Hershey 1968

"GET THE BOYS OUT OF THE TRENCHES BY CHRISTMAS."
said millionaire manufacturer Henry Ford in 1915-and backed his words by hiring an ocean liner, filling it with reporters and pacifists, and heading through submarine infested waters to Europe to talk sense to the Kaiser and the Allies. 

But before the Great Peace Ship left the dock, war had broken out on board, and one of the zaniest voyages in history was under way!

Burnet Hershey later a famous correspondent in two world wars was, at 19, the youngest reporter on the ship. 

He saw, and remembered, every mad moment (and saved Ford from falling overboard), and now presents the fullest and funniest account ever written of THE ODYSSEY OF HENRY FORD AND THE GREAT PEACE SHIP
