Reader reviews for Treat 'Em Rough: Letters from Jack the Kaiser Killer

From the publisher

Treat 'Em Rough: Letters from Jack the Kaiser Killer is a collection of fictional letters written by a soldier named Jack Keefe during World War I. The letters are written in a humorous and satirical style, and they offer a unique perspective on life in the trenches during the war. Jack Keefe is portrayed as a brash and confident soldier who takes pleasure in killing Germans, hence his nickname ""the Kaiser Killer."" The letters are addressed to his friend Al, and they cover a wide range of topics, from the horrors of war to the mundane details of army life. Along the way, Jack shares his thoughts on politics, religion, and relationships, and he offers a glimpse into the mind of a young man caught up in the chaos of war. Written by Ring W. Lardner, a renowned American writer and journalist, Treat 'Em Rough is a witty and entertaining book that captures the spirit of a generation caught up in the Great War.1918. Lardner, American humorist and short-story writer, is known for his mordant wit, exemplified in satirical stories and sketches of American life in the early 20th century told in the language of athletes, stockbrokers, secretaries, chorus girls, etc. This volume contains a series of letters from Jack, who is stationed at Camp Grant, to his Friend Al, with tongue-in-cheek descriptions of life in the service.
