The Soul of the War is a comprehensive account of the First World War by Philip Gibbs, a renowned British war correspondent who covered the conflict from the trenches. The book is divided into four parts, each covering a different phase of the war. The first part focuses on the early months of the war, from August 1914 to the end of the year, and describes the initial enthusiasm and optimism of the soldiers and civilians as they set out to fight for their country.The second part covers the years 1915 and 1916, which were marked by the brutal trench warfare and the devastating battles of the Somme and Verdun. Gibbs provides a vivid and detailed account of the horrors of the battlefield, including the use of poison gas and the impact of machine guns on the soldiers.The third part of the book covers the years 1917 and 1918, which saw the entry of the United States into the war and the eventual defeat of Germany. Gibbs describes the changing mood of the soldiers and civilians as the war dragged on and the casualties mounted, as well as the political and military strategies that led to the final victory.The final part of the book reflects on the aftermath of the war and the impact it had on the world. Gibbs discusses the Treaty of Versailles and the League of Nations, as well as the social and economic changes that resulted from the war.Overall, The Soul of the War is a powerful and moving account of one of the most significant events in modern history. Gibbs' firsthand experience and vivid writing bring the war to life and provide a valuable insight into the human cost of conflict.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
