One of the best unit histories of WW I.  Each Ambulance section gets a chapter written by men from that section.  Malcolm Cowley, William Seabrook, Harry Crosby among many others contribute.  There is a roster of the approx.. 2,500 drivers as well as a list of all the donors of ambulances.  The set is profusely illustrated with photos and art.  The American Field Service participated in many of the battles on the Western Front before the US entered World War I.  Not a rare set but not usually found inscribed by A Piatt Andrew founder and driving force behind the American Field Service.
