Arthur Mee (1875-1943) was a profilic English writer and journalist, and many of his works - often aimed at raising a generation of patriotic and morally-driven citizens - were hugely popular.  This is one of his rarer titles, a journalistic but typically Mee reflection on the first year of the second world war.
