About This Book

A wartime correspondent describes journeys through European capitals and nearby frontiers, offering on-the-ground observations of military preparations, civic institutions repurposed for war, and changes in everyday urban life. Arranged as travel chapters focused on places from Berlin and Potsdam to Vienna, Constantinople and other cities, the narrative records drills, hospitals and prisons, aerial and naval activity, refugee movements, and scenes of damage and occupation. Descriptive reportage is paired with concise analysis of how battlefield events, logistics, and morale are reflected in the streets, institutions, and routines of capital cities.
