""Mr. Punch's History Of The Great War"" is a satirical account of World War I, written by the famous British magazine Punch. The book is a collection of cartoons, illustrations, and humorous articles that were originally published in the magazine between 1914 and 1919. The content of the book covers the major events of the war, including the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the sinking of the Lusitania, the Battle of the Somme, and the Treaty of Versailles. The book offers a unique perspective on the war, as it is presented through the lens of humor and satire. It provides a glimpse into the attitudes and sentiments of the British people during this tumultuous time in history. Overall, ""Mr. Punch's History Of The Great War"" is a fascinating and entertaining read that offers a fresh perspective on one of the most significant events of the 20th century.The tide of ""frightfulness"" rolls strong on land as on sea. The second battle of Ypres has begun and the enemy has resorted to the use of a new weapon--poison gas. He had already poisoned wells in South West Africa, but this is an uglier outcome of the harnessing of science to the Powers of Darkness. Italy grows restive in spite of the blandishments of Prince Buelow, and as the month closes we hear of the landing of the Allies in Gallipoli, just two months after the unsupported naval attempt to force the Dardanelles.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
