The War on All Fronts: England's Effort Letters to an American Friend

"The War on All Fronts: England's Effort" by Humphry Ward is a series of letters from an Englishwoman to her American friend during World War I, where she describes the effect of the war on everyday life within the country and explains England's dedication to the Allied cause. Initially hesitant to write about the conflict, she wants to show her friend the truth of England's resolve. She looks at the mobilization of industries toward the war, and highlights how women start to play a significant role in the war effort, working in jobs they have never worked in before. The author focuses on the themes of national unity, sacrifice, and strength of spirit during a difficult time in England.
