About This Book
A sequence of eyewitness essays documents visits to battlefields, munition works, shipyards, training camps and a large base hospital during the war. The author records observations of weaponry, gunnery, battle cruisers and aircraft, and describes surgical practice, recovery wards and the care of wounded, including enemy patients. Industrial production, troop training and frontline landscapes are surveyed, while reflective passages consider national morale, the scale of human sacrifice and the surge of transatlantic sympathy after American involvement.
