Around its brownish-yellow walls hung many a chart, their graphs ending in dismal downward dips. (Zigzags were all in black & white because color-blind Governor Meyer has trouble with reds and greens.)

No phase of it is left untouched; Professor Fay amply discusses the military, political, economic, and social aspects of Germany's development, without making a mere chronological chart of names and dates; and his technical knowledge of military warfare enables him to give interesting, whether or not important, analyses of numerous battles and campaigns...
