Publisher's Synopsis
A Traveller in War Time is a fascinating account of Winston Churchill's travels during World War I. Churchill, who was then serving as First Lord of the Admiralty, undertook several journeys to the front lines of the war in France and Belgium, as well as to other parts of Europe and the Middle East. The book is a collection of his observations and reflections on the war, as well as on the people and places he encountered during his travels. Churchill's writing is vivid and evocative, bringing to life the sights, sounds, and smells of the war-torn landscapes he passed through. He describes the devastation wrought by the conflict, the heroism of the soldiers fighting on both sides, and the struggles of civilians caught in the middle. He also provides insights into the political and military strategies of the war, as well as his own views on the conduct of the conflict.Throughout the book, Churchill's passion for history and his deep understanding of the forces that shape human affairs shine through. He draws on his own experiences as a soldier and politician, as well as on his extensive reading and research, to offer a nuanced and insightful perspective on the war and its impact on the world. A Traveller in War Time is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of World War I, as well as for those who want to gain a deeper understanding of Churchill's life and work. It is a powerful testament to the human spirit in times of crisis, and a moving tribute to the sacrifices of those who fought and died in one of the greatest conflicts in human history.There turned out to be plenty of ideas, after all. An opinion was ventured that Mr. Lloyd George served the nation, not for money but from public spirit; a conservative insisted that ability should be rewarded and rewarded well; whereupon ensued one of the most enlightening discussions, not only as a revelation of intelligence, but of complexes and obsessions pervading many of the minds in whose power lies the ultimate control of democracies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
