About This Book

Eyewitness dispatches and essays chronicle the outbreak and early campaigns of the European conflict through on-the-ground reporting: the German occupation of Brussels, the destruction at Louvain and Rheims, frontline fighting such as Soissons, and the civilian suffering of refugees. The author documents military conduct, censorship, diplomatic maneuvering, and the morale and spirit of British and Allied populations, while examining the waste and moral dilemmas of modern industrialized warfare. Portraits of war correspondents and diplomats illuminate the practical and ethical challenges of reporting under fire, and recurring passages contend that neutrality in the face of systematic violations of the rules of war is untenable.
