After the war, his battalion was ordered to Montenegro in the Balkans for peace keeping duty, and to insure delivery of two shiploads of flour from the Bay of Cattaro to Niegosh and Cettinje. At the time, Montenegro was torn by civil war between "Revolutionists" seeking an independent republic and Serbian backed "Federalists" backing absorption into the first Yugoslavian state.
Marching up a steep, winding trail from Cattaro to Niegosh, the Americans meet a large force of Revolutionists seeking protection from advancing Federalist forces. They are given protection, food, and lodging in return for giving up their arms and assisting with unloading flour from the supply ships.
This book is a tribute to the positive and indomitable American spirit of the age. Its uniqueness comes, somewhat, in that, though written by a soldier at the front in wartime, there are no detailed combat scenes, only a reflection of a soldier upon how grand it is to be alive, and the potential for transcendence of the tyranny and small mindedness which had spawned the War To End All Wars.
