R. W. Seton-Watson epub The Spirit of the Serb (Classic Reprint)

Serbian proverb which says, Victory is not won by shining arms, but by brave hearts ;and I cannot find a better motto for my remarks about Serbia and the spirit of the Serbs. For so far as this war is concerned, the proverb is thoroughly typical of the bravery and stubborn self-reliance with which they have held their own for the past seven months. When war first broke out, those of us who were interested in Serbia and the Balkans felt it almost necessary to apologize for the importance of the south-eastern front and Serbias share in the war. At first we were, naturally enough, engrossed with the western theatre of war, where our own gallant troops are fighting; and many of us were apt to forget that besides Belgium, which has suffered so t Qvvih Xyfor us there is another small country at our side, the Belgium of the East, Serbia, who has been fighting all alone against terrible odds, and who, alone of all our Continental Allies (be it said without reproach !), is in the proud position of having expelled every enemy from her native soil.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
