This volume compiles 165 episodes and personal adventures from different perspectives during World War I, narrated by various eyewitnesses including soldiers, nurses, diplomats, and more. The collection seeks to present an authentic portrayal of the war through firsthand accounts, illustrating the breadth of experiences faced on different fronts. The opening of the volume introduces the structure of the collection and provides insights into the diverse narratives it contains. The editor outlines that the accounts come from a wide range of storytellers, capturing the voices of soldiers from different nationalities and backgrounds, including Americans, Canadians, Italians, and Belgians.
