“Action at Night” by John Cosmo Clark, ca. 1917-18, #IWMCollection.
The artist served in the #GreatWar as a #subaltern on the Western Front. Paintings such as this give us a rare glimpse into night operations, during which it was almost impossible to

Perhaps the most thorough treatment of the factors leading to World War I, which, regrettably, turned out to not be "the war to end all wars." #booksky #history #WWI #military #nowar #peace
