William Heinemann (1918, London)
Notes
This is a valuable book because it was written by an accredited war correspondent, whose work was censored by C.E. Montague, formerly of The Manchester Guardian. For all that, this book is stuffed full of interesting accounts and descriptions which one does not generally find in a modern book. For this reason, it is a significant book and should be especially interesting to researchers.
