The Audacious War

Clarence Barron was a journalist, publishing the Wall Street Journal, the Boston News Bureau, and the Philadelphia News Bureau, and directing news-gathering for the banking and financial communities. Barron traveled to Europe to ascertain the financial factors in World War I and also to determine the financial results of the War. Barron said, The whole of the war, its commercial causes, its financial and military forces, its tremendous human sacrifices, the conflicting principles of government, and the world-wide issues involved, all lay out in clear facts and figures after I had gathered by day and night from what appeared at first to be a tangled web. The Audacious War covers the beginning months of the war.
