War is waged by men; not by beasts, or by gods. It is a peculiarly
human activity. To call it a crime against mankind is to miss at
least half its significance; it is also the punishment of a crime.
That raises a moral question, the kind of problem with which the
present age is disinclined to deal. Perhaps some future attempt to
provide a solution for it may prove to be even more astonishing
than the last. While this book is a record of experience on the
Somme and Ancre fronts, with an interval behind the lines, during
the latter half of the year 1916; and the events described in it
actually happened; the characters are fictitious. It is true that
in recording the conversations, the men seemed at times to hear the
voices of ghosts. Their judgments were necessarily partial and
prejudiced; but prejudices and partialities provide most of the
driving power of life.
