Henry Woodd Nevinson (1856-1941) was a scholar and socialist who
found his metier on the cusp of the twentieth century, as a war
correspondent who would go on to chronicle the major wars and civil
conflicts of his time, from South Africa and Russia to India and
the Balkans. Reporting from the Western Front in 1918 he was
wounded at the Dardanelles. Nevinson's work was marked by a strong
sense of conscience and underscored by activism: directing relief
work in Macedonia and Albania, campaigning against the dreadful
mistreatment of bonded labourers in Portuguese Angola, and
supporting female suffrage in Britain. (He would marry the
suffragette Evelyn Sharp.)
Nevinson wrote three volumes of autobiography: "Changes and
Chances "(1923), "More Changes, More Chances "(1925), and "Last
Changes, Last Chances" (1928). "Fire of Life," first published in
1935, is an expert abridgement of this trilogy.
