About this book

The Soul of the War is a book by Philip Gibbs. The contents list names, among others, The Foreboding, Mobilization and The Secret War. The introduction says the book is a companion book to another book by Philip Gibbs that is Now It Can Be Told. The introduction says The Soul of the War is the first part of the memoirs of Philip Gibbs, published in 1915.

On a night of fate, a narrator looks back to the shore and wishes to see by some kind of searchlight into the soul of England. In a side street leading into the Town Hall square, where wreckage is strewn across the road, Dr. Munro, sitting beside the chauffeur, says “Try to take it.” A passage describes the English mechanic as matter-of-fact and keen on his job, and the Lowland Scot as hard as nails.
