"With natural ability, coming from first-hand knowledge, the talented writer bears out that war is the only condition and absolutely turns a man inside out. War strips a man, rips out his heart and guts and sets them on the outside of his body. Whatever the place of his heart, man does not change. The Greek, warmhearted and sensitive, a man who fanatically loves his country, remained true to character. As did the German, cruel, brutal, insensitive, a man who loved his country beyond all else."

"But "The Man With The Black Worrybeads" is a book for every man of every nationality. It is much needed at this time. For it is a grim, powerful device to jog man's memory and remind him at the true meaning of war."

"Mr. Rumanes has streaked his stunning narrative with fascinating fragments of history. Written in two parts, he prefaces both with picture of Piraeus, which Aeschylus writing in 490 B. C. called the "jewel" in the diadem of Athens."
