3) “The War had come to an end. Cities, towns, villages were depopulated. A quarter of the population had survived – about two hundred thousand people – ninety percent female. Of the twenty thousand men still alive, seventy-five percent were older than sixty or boys under ten. The allies themselves were stunned by the enormity of the catastrophe, the greatest ever in an American country.”
