A singular view of the Great War on many fronts At the outbreak of
the First World War the United States of America was a neutral
power. This gave its journalists the opportunity to visit the
various war fronts with a freedom to view campaigns from all
perspectives and with impartiality from the lines of several of the
combatant armies. War Correspondent Arthur Ruhl dropped his fishing
rod, jumped on a steamer and arrived in Europe in time to witness,
from the viewpoint of the invaded, the overwhelming might of the
Imperial German Army as it bore down on Belgium. He experienced the
chaos as France feared for its imminent fall, and the fall of
Antwerp before crossing the lines to see the war from the
perspective of an elated Germany. Experiences of the German front
line were followed by a journey to the east as news broke of
Winston Churchill's Dardanelles adventure. After coming under fire
in company with Turkish troops at Gallipoli, Ruhl concluded his
tour of the maelstrom that was the Great War on the Russian Front.
Ruhl's was 'an eye in the storm'-a view of a war not his own by a
professional writer-making it a unique, engrossing and
multi-faceted narrative of some of the most momentous events in the
history of human conflict.
