A Traveller in War-Time (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781986807357)

Excerpt from A Traveller in War-Time: With an Essay on the American Contribution and Democratic Idea

AM reprinting here, in response to requests, certain I recent experiences in Great Britain and France. These were selected in the hope of conveying to Amer ican readers some idea of the atmosphere, of what it is like in these countries under the immediate shadow of the battle clouds. It was what I myself most wished to know. My idea was first to send home my impres sions while they were fresh, and to refrain as far as possible from comment and judgment until I should have had time to make a fuller survey. Hence I chose as a title for these articles, intended to be prelim inary, A Traveller in war-time. I tried to banish from my mind all previous impressions gained from reading. I wished to be free for the moment to accept and record the chance invitation or adventure, wherever met with, at the Front, in the streets of Paris, in Ireland, or on the London omnibus. Later on, I hoped to write a book summarizing the changing social condi tions as I had found them.
