The work seeks to evoke memories and remind readers of the significant historical events and sentiments from that tumultuous period. At the start of the collection, the foreword sets the tone, explaining that the poems are based on the author's impressions of the war. The opening piece, "Modern Diplomacy, or How the War Started," depicts the escalating tensions leading to the war through a humorous interaction between various nations and their leaders. The subsequent poems continue to explore themes of heroism, sacrifice, and the absurdity of war, featuring characters like John Bull, Uncle Sam, and even humorous representations of German soldiers, all contributing to a multifaceted portrayal of wartime experiences and sentiments.
