Abstract
The 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. Montague's view of this complex conflict was holistic because of the journalistic skill he acquired before the war and his personal experience during the war as a private in training camp, as a sergeant in the trenches, and as an officer attached to British general headquarters. 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.
