About This Book

A first-person correspondent records his experiences and reflections from the opening phase of the Great War, combining frontline reportage, naval visits, and occupied-territory observations. He recounts major engagements and daily life in trenches, the prominence of artillery and entrenchment, time among British forces and the Grand Fleet, and conditions under enemy rule, while noting censoring of military details. Interwoven are analyses of diplomatic causes and national aims, and reflections on heroism, sacrifice, and the limits of prediction derived from both earlier fiction and wartime experience.
