Pershing's memoir covers two volumes.[2] They were originally published by the Frederick A. Stokes Company of New York City, and released in 1931.[3] Pershing dedicated the work to The Unknown Soldier.[4]

Volume I covers the period from Pershing's selection as commander of the American Expeditionary Forces to the German Spring Offensive of 1918.[5]
