Italy, France and Britain at War (1917), by H.G. Wells

By the time World War I started, British writer H.G. Wells (1866-1946) had made an international name for himself with speculative fiction like The Time Machine (1895) and social fiction like Kipps (1905).

During the war, Wells wrote much fiction and nonfiction about the conflict, including a 1917 book that was published in the United States under the title Italy, France, and Britain at War. As the title indicates, the book is a history of the war, focusing on Wells's observations of the Western and Italian Fronts after he had toured them in 1916.
