About This Book

A collection of eyewitness essays recounts visits to munitions factories, shipyards and training camps and to battlefronts and base hospitals, offering detailed descriptions of armaments, ship construction, artillery and flying squadrons. The author combines technical observation of cartridges, rifles, guns and battle cruisers with human portraits of wounded men, medical wards and recovery, and scenes from Arras, Ypres and other battlefields. Interlaced reflections consider industrial mobilization, the strain of modern warfare on bodies and morale, and the everyday courage of those who work and fight, presented in a journalistic, observational style.
