An anthology of First World War voices

Some of the voices here came to oppose the war after reflecting on experience, others opposed it on principle before a shot was fired - they may have been few in number, but gradually their influence rose.

This anthology presents diverse voices of men and women who questioned and opposed the war - liberals, radicals and pacifists, anarchists and socialists, soldiers and non-combatants.

* How did people react to the war? Some short sentences painting brief images come first.
* A second chapter presents texts those who campaigned against militarism.
* The third chapter considers claims that this was a war for civilization, or for the freedom of small nations.
* A last chapter asks questions such as: How could the war have been prevented? And how could it be stopped?
