The legacy of the Great War was just as deeply felt as the war itself, and much longer lasting. We Will Remember Them is the story of the soldiers and their families, told in their own words. It describes the dying months of the war, when victory was close. It describes the joys and disappointments of triumph, the shock of homecoming, and the painful readjustment to ordinary civilian life. And it shows how wives and children reacted to their men coming home.

Yet the relationship between House and the president ended in a quarrel at the 1919 Paris peace conference and House has received little sympathetic historical attention since.
