'War and the Future: Italy, France and Britain at War' is a 1917 treatise written H. G. Wells on the First World War, exploring its causes, military technology, ramifications, possible outcomes, and more. This fascinating thesis is highly recommended for those with an interest in WWI and is not to be missed by fans and collectors of Wells’ work. Contents include: 'The Passing Of The Effigy', 'The War In Italy (August, 1916)', 'The Isonzo Front', 'The Mountain War', 'Behind The Front', 'The Western War (September, 1916)', 'Ruins', 'The Grades Of War', 'The War Landscape', 'New Arms For Old Ones', 'Tanks', 'How People Think About The War', et cetera. Herbert George Wells (1866 - 1946) was a prolific English writer who wrote in a variety of genres, including the novel, politics, history, and social commentary. Today, he is perhaps best remembered for his contributions to the science fiction genre, thanks to such novels as 'The Time Machine' (1895), 'The Invisible Man' (1897), and 'The War of the Worlds' (1898). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
