Description
Now It Can Be Told by Philip Gibbs is a 1920 memoir and firsthand account of World War I, detailing the brutal realities, filth, and human tragedy witnessed by an official war correspondent. It reveals the hidden, often censored, horrors of the trenches, from the Battle of the Somme to the use of poison gas.
As a reporter on the front lines, Gibbs provides a 360-degree view, from interactions with Generals to the experiences of front-line soldiers. The book is a poignant, sometimes emotionally draining account that highlights the futility of the 'war to end all wars'.
Now It Can Be Told focuses on the psychological toll on soldiers, the incompetence of high command, and the shattered lives of those in the conflict. It is widely regarded as a significant historical book and a powerful, honest, and often scathing, account of the war.
