"Within the Rim, and Other Essays, 1914-15" by Henry James is a set of thought-provoking writings capturing the atmosphere of World War I through the eyes of someone living in Britain. The book explores the feelings of a nation grappling with conflict, touching on ideas about who they are, and how war changes everything. One essay looks at how current struggles mirror those of the American Civil War. Other essays share stories of people escaping the war and what war means for different countries, rich or poor. The writing style is beautiful and serious, encouraging readers to think about how easily civilization can be broken and how strong people can still be when facing tough times.
