Show moreThe Great War of 1914/18 was complex because it was the major transition from historic conflicts in which guns were controlled by men to one in which men were controlled by tanks and aircraft. C. E.

His writings about the war are compared with those of Cate Haste, a historian; H. M. Tomlinson, a war correspondent; Wyndham Lewis, an artist and author; Frank Richards, a professional soldier; Siegfried Sassoon, a poet; and Edmund Blunden, a scholar. None of these had the range of understanding possessed by Montague.
