Good for age - tears; spine splitting, a few rusted staples. May 3, 1916 - June 7, 1916\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen the world was torn apart by the guns of August 1914, one publication rose to meet the public's insatiable hunger for truth from the front — The Illustrated War News, a landmark periodical that brought the horrors and heroics of the First World War directly into the homes of a anxious British public. Published in weekly parts by the Illustrated London News Group, each self-contained issue chronicles the unfolding conflict through a powerful combination of photographic reportage and incisive journalism, capturing everything from naval operations in the Eastern Mediterranean to soldiers gathered at field kitchens on the Western Front. The images presented within these pages are not mere illustrations — they are primary historical documents, freezing in silver and shadow the faces, machines, and landscapes of a war that would reshape civilization.\n\nThe Illustrated War News stands as one of the most significant pieces of visual journalism to emerge from the Great War era, offering modern readers an unmediated window into how the conflict was perceived and communicated in real time. Each part, complete in itself, represents a serialised history written not in hindsight but in the breathless present tense of a world at war. For historians, collectors, and students of military history alike, this collection of issues is an irreplaceable artefact — one that asks us to consider not just what happened in the trenches, but how a generation bore witness to it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49276113912027,"sku":"2026100009069-SECONDHAND","price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/17f21837-1a6f-41e5-9047-5f020e252fb9.png?v=1789092604","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100009069-secondhand-the-illustrated-war-news-91-96","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
