About This Book

A journalist's account combines frontline reportage from the Italian Isonzo and the Western theatres with analytical essays on the changed character of contemporary warfare. It interleaves vivid descriptions of terrain, logistics and mountain and trench fighting with discussion of new arms including tanks and artillery, and assesses propaganda, public opinion, and press organisation. Later sections consider popular responses—pacifism, conscientious objection, religious revival—and social transformations at home, concluding with reflections on how technology, organisation, and morale may shape the conflict's course and ending.

About the Author

Wells, H. G. portrait

H. G. Wells

Herbert George Wells (1866-1946) was an English writer and social commentator, renowned for his contributions to science fiction and social criticism. Often referred to as the 'father of science fiction,' Wells explored themes of technology, society, and human nature in his works. His notable titles include "The War of the Worlds," which depicts an alien invasion, and "The Time Machine," a pioneering narrative that delves into time travel. In addition to fiction, Wells wrote extensively on contemporary issues, as seen in works like "An Englishman Looks at the World." His literary legacy continues to influence writers and thinkers, making him a significant figure in both literature and social thought.
