About this book

War and the Future: Italy, France and Britain at War is a book by H. G. Wells. The contents list, among others, headings called The War in Italy (August, 1916), with sections on the Isonzo Front and the Mountain War, and The Western War (September, 1916). The text calls the Tour of the Front one of the minor peculiarities of this unprecedented war.

The text counts infantrymen with automobile transport, plentiful machine guns, Tanks and such-like accessories as the first Arm in modern war. The writer says several of the French leaders with whom he talked seemed to be convinced that the horse is absolutely done with in modern warfare. The text says an International Tribunal, if it was indeed to prevent war, would need also to have power to intervene in the affairs of any country or region in a state of open and manifest disorder.
