Yet one-half of Europe believes that unless the existing situation is altered another war is inevitable, while the other half is just as firmly convinced that war will result if any attempt is made to change the status quo. And both parties honestly believe themselves to be in the right.\" --Foreword. ¶ \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Powell worked as a war correspondent during World War I and his position as a neutral allowed him access to both sides of the battle lines, from 1914 onwards. With the entry of the United States into the Great War in 1917, Powell was commissioned as a captain in military intelligence. He was injured in September 1918, and convalesced until the Armistice in November of that year, thereafter returning to the US. He left the US Armed Services with the rank of major. Powell published his war journalism in newspapers and magazines such as The War Illustrated, New York World and the Daily Mail and his war books were published by Charles Scribner's Sons. Powell then switched from journalism to a successful career as an adventure and travel writer, traveling widely across the globe and publishing some 20 more books between 1920 and 1954.\" --Wikipedia. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Powell, E.
