Summary: "The Secret Battle" by A. P. Herbert is a war novel written in the early 20th century.

As the story unfolds, it delves into the harsh realities of war, revealing the psychological and physical challenges faced by Penrose and his comrades during their deployment to Gallipoli. At the start of the novel, Harry's character is introduced as an enthusiastic and imaginative youth, full of romantic notions about warfare.
