It could hardly be doubted that some novelist would write a great war story. And what is more logical than that it should be H. G. Wells? Mr. Britling Sees It Through is a work of profound interest and appeal which seeks to show what the gigantic conflict means to those who are in the midst of it. It is not a tale of terrible conditions at the front, of the horrors of actual warfare, but is something deeper in its analysis of life than that. The scene is "Matching's Easy," and Essex country village, in which is typified the old England. Here Mr. Britling lives and here he sees the changes which the war brings, which are again typical of the changes, social and economic, which are being wrought through the empire. All of this is set forth in as dramatic and fascinating a book as any Mr. Wells has written, a book of varied incident and striking characters.
