Sir Philip Gibbs served as one of five official British reporters during the First World War. In this book he relays the experiences of British soldiers and offers a detailed narrative of the events of World War I, while trying to draw broader conclusions about the nature of war and how it can be prevented in the future.

This is a great book, but it is easy to let your mind wander. The problem is when you do that you have no idea what you missed, and you missed some exceptional information. There is so much information the author is trying to convey and relate. The First World War was a great tragedy, one that the author, being he was a war correspondent, is continually trying to get to the point of it all. The problem is there is no way to do that. This is the human condition. And the other confusing thing is jumping around from philosophical points to actual happenings during the way. However, this book is very good, and these issues shouldn't deter one from reading it. The narrator does a fine job. No issues there.

I have a reasonably good lay knowledge of the political & military history of WW1: the archduke, trench warfare, etc. But this firsthand account by a British war correspondent who experienced the whole thing from beginning to end provides a much more personal and up-close account. Very worthwhile, and wonderfully written and performed.

An unusually worthwhile listen.

This story gave me chills and saddened me to know how foolish people could be in the name of patriotism.

Haunting and tragic

First class history, told by a first-person witness of the trials and tribulations of soldiery in the First World War.

Powerful

A very sincere, emotionally impacting story of WW1 "Trench Warfare" as seen through the eyes of a British war correspondent, who, other than the combatant militias from all participants, is qualified to record the horror of war and the changing of lives directly affected.

I recommend this book for anyone who wants to learn more about life's transgressions and the full range of how civilization is both Beautiful and Horrible simultaneously...It's the choice of each as to how they perceive.
