520			_a"The Forest of Swords: A Story of Paris and the Marne" by Joseph A. Altsheler is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of World War I, the story follows the experiences of characters John Scott and Philip Lannes as they navigate the turmoil of war in and around Paris. The narrative explores themes of bravery, nationalism, and the complex emotions that accompany the struggle against an overwhelming enemy. At the start of the book, John Scott and Philip Lannes walk through Paris and reflect on the dire situation as German forces advance toward the city. Their conversation reveals their deep fears and hopes for France as they observe the evacuation occurring around them. The tension builds as they discuss the importance of their country and the influence of historical figures like Napoleon. John befriends a spirited young man, Pierre Louis Bougainville, who expresses a desire to fight for France. As the narrative unfolds, the two men find themselves caught in the chaos of war, facing threats both from the enemy below and within their own ranks, setting the stage for an intense and gripping tale of courage and perseverance.
