describe life in the trenches of World War I. Barbusse has an interesting way of describing the events that he is recounting‚ and seems to be writing his memoir as if the audience is with him at the scene that he is showing to us.

In general‚ he is very descriptive‚ and has a preoccupation with the new technology of the war that

When World War 1 broke out in 1914‚ President Woodrow Wilson declared the United States neutral. Although U.S. soldiers did not fight until 1917‚ the country was never technically impartial in the conflict.
