AB  - "According to the American Battle Monuments Commission, approximately 80,000 Kansans served in the US armed forces during World War I. In Kansas and Kansans in World War I, Blake Watson helps readers understand how World War I affected Kansas and its residents, and how Kansans in turn had an impact on the outcome of the Great War.
