"With the Allies" by Richard Harding Davis is a piece of historical reporting that puts readers on the ground during the early days of World War I. The book plunges into the heart of the conflict through the eyes of a war reporter, painting a picture of cities like London and Brussels as they grapple with the growing war. The core of the story is centered around the harsh truths of war, the strength of the people facing it, and the complicated feelings of different countries involved, further opening with the author's disapproval of America staying neutral. The story kicks off on the Lusitania, showing a peaceful scene right before the war news hits, then moves to Brussels, showing the city's beauty and the people's determination just before the German invasion. As the German army gets closer, the book shows scary scenes, with the author bringing to light the deep personal and cultural effects of the war.
