About This Book

An Irish intellectual and soldier explains why he joined the European war, combining memoir, reportage, and polemic. Early essays place his Irish nationalism within a wider internationalist ideal and argue for resistance to aggression; vivid dispatches recount German abuses in Belgium and front-line impressions from France; reflective pieces celebrate French culture and interrogate the militaristic philosophies behind Prussian expansion; shorter sketches capture trench conditions, endurance, and religious devotion among combatants; concluding essays appeal for a postwar settlement guided by honour and principle rather than commercial or political opportunism.

Transcriber’s Notes

Punctuation, hyphenation, and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in the original book; otherwise they were not changed.

Simple typographical errors were corrected; unbalanced quotation marks were remedied when the change was obvious, and otherwise left unbalanced.

Two unclosed parentheses were silently corrected.

In the original book, multi-section chapter headings (with Roman Numerals) included repetitions of the chapter title. In this eBook, those chapter titles only appear above the first section.
