This book goes deeper into some aspects of the First World War, which, the author believes, the world must know and remember, not only as a memorial of men's courage in tragic years, but as a warning of what will happen again if a heritage of evil and of folly is not cut out of the hearts of people. It presents the reality of modern warfare not only as it appears to British soldiers, but to soldiers on all the fronts where conditions were the same. Presenting the tragic record of the battles, it reveals the truth of the war as revealed in the minds of men out of their experience. It argues that some new system of relationship between one people to another and some new code of international morality must be explored so that another massacre of youth must be prevented..

Autorenporträt
Sir Philip Armand Hamilton Gibbs KBE was an English journalist and prolific author who served as one of the five official British reporters during World War I. His siblings A. Hamilton Gibbs, Francis Hamilton Gibbs, Helen Hamilton Gibbs, and Cosmo Hamilton, as well as his father Henry James Gibbs and his own son Anthony, were all writers. Gibbs, the son of a government servant, was born in Kensington, London, and his name was registered as Philip Amande Thomas. He had a home education and decided at a young age to pursue a career as a writer. Gibbs was a Roman Catholic. His first piece appeared in the Daily Chronicle in 1894, and five years later, he released the first of many volumes, Founders of the Empire. He was appointed literary editor of Alfred Harmsworth's main (and expanding) tabloid-format daily, the Daily Mail. He also worked for several big newspapers, including the Daily Express. His first attempt at semi-fiction, The Street of Adventure, was published in 1909 and told the story of the official Liberal Party journal Tribune, which was created in 1906 but failed dramatically in 1908. Franklin Thomasson, Leicester's MP from 1906 to 1910, created the paper at great expenditure.
