About this eBook

Author Davis, Richard Harding, 1864-1916
Title With the Allies
Credits E-text prepared by A. Langley
Summary "With the Allies" by Richard Harding Davis is a historical account written during the early 20th century, specifically around the time of World War I. The book offers a vivid firsthand perspective on the war, detailing the experiences of a war correspondent as he navigates the tumultuous landscapes of London, Brussels, and the battlefronts of Europe. Its central themes likely focus on the grim realities of warfare, the spirit of the people caught in the conflict, and the complexities of national identities during war. The opening of the book reflects on the author’s critique of America’s neutral stance toward the war, emphasizing the moral obligation to oppose the atrocities committed by the German military aristocracy. The narrative begins aboard the Lusitania, capturing the calm before the storm, as news of the war first reaches the passengers. It then describes the atmosphere in Brussels prior to the German invasion, highlighting the beauty of the city and its people’s resilience amidst the outbreak of war. As the German forces advance, the scenes of panic and despair are juxtaposed with the initial confidence of the Belgians, setting a tone that reveals both the personal and cultural impacts of the war as experienced by the author.
