Published as a series of illustrated periodical parts by The Illustrated London News \u0026amp; Sketch Ltd., this remarkable wartime publication chronicles the unfolding events of the Great War through a compelling combination of photographic reportage, detailed engravings, and on-the-ground correspondence — capturing cavalry charges, trench warfare, and the faces of soldiers on multiple fronts with vivid immediacy.\n\nAs both a historical document and a triumph of wartime journalism, The Illustrated War News stands as an irreplaceable primary source for understanding how the conflict was perceived, portrayed, and consumed by the civilian population of Britain and beyond. Each part presents a snapshot of a world irrevocably changed by industrialised warfare, reflecting the propaganda, patriotism, and raw human cost that defined the era. For collectors, historians, and enthusiasts of military history, this rare surviving collection of original issues offers an unfiltered window into the public consciousness of 1916 — leaving the reader to wonder at just how different our understanding of war might be without it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50948300669147,"sku":"2026100012966-SECONDHAND","price":50.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/1a3ed557-e231-4330-8664-35604f6fe427.png?v=1793104021","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100012966-secondhand-the-illustrated-war-news-12-20","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
