“There are few people in the world who have more opportunity for getting close to the hot interesting things of one’s time than the special correspondent of a great paper,” George Lynch, a veteran British correspondent, wrote in Impressions of a War Correspondent, published in 1903. He made it all sound glorious, just the way war correspondents like to recount their experiences on the battlefield. But in a few months he had less to exult about. Lynch and a distinguished throng of foreign correspondents with high hopes of a good story assembled in Tokyo to cover the Russo-Japanese War—a monumental conflict that would mark the first modern defeat of a Western force by an Asian one—only to discover that the authorities would not let them “close to the hot interesting things.” Corralled in the Imperial Hotel, the journalists had nothing much to do except tell stories in the bar and write about local flora. A few of them, including Jack London and Richard Harding Davis, decided to contribute short autobiographical stories recounting their most exciting journalistic experiences for a book to be edited by Lynch and his American colleague, Frederick Palmer. The correspondents told their tales in different ways—prose, poems, sketches, and even a short play. Their stories recounted their routines, failures, and triumphs, including durviving battles and waiting to see action. One contributor imagines bewhiskered correspondents in 1950 still awaiting permission from Japan to go to the front—only to learn the war had been over for thirty-nine years. Printed locally by a Japanese printer and largely forgotten until now, In Many Wars, by Many War Correspondents offers colorful stories and insights about the lives and personalities of some of history’s most celebrated war correspondents. With a foreword by John Maxwell Hamilton that chronicles the circumstances under which the contributors compiled the book, this new edition opens a window into the fascinating world of foreign newsgathering at the turn of the twentieth century.

Death from a Mauser bullet is less painful than the drawing of a tooth. Such, at least, appears to be the case, speaking generally from apparent evidence, without having the opportunity of collecting the opinions of those who have actually died. In books we have read of shrieks of expiring agony; but ask those who have been on many battlefields, and they will not tell you they have heard them. As a rule a sudden exclamation, "I'm hit!" "My God!" "Damn it!"

Not illustrated. 1900 edition. Excerpt: ...called their attention to the "good thing" in that tree, and volleys, instead of single bullets, would have come my way. I don't blame the fellow, though. He was attending to what he considered his business, and attending to it well until I interfered by getting out of his reach. I was in a very good imitation of service clothes, had a cartridge-belt and revolver strapped to my waist, and he undoubtedly mistook me for an officer making a reconnoissance. Wriggling a little way from the tree, I made myself as comfortable as I could in the long grass behind a bush. But here I could see nothing except at intervals, and then what I could see did not satisfy me. It was while lying here now thalt I beca-me aware of a curious possibility on the battlefield. In the hottest fire, one may become absent-minded! From lack of ability to see well, I began to think of other matters--of home, of Broadway, of a former tripto the tropics, of the poor fare we had on the transport, and of a certain restaurant in New York where the cold salads were always a delight on a hot summer's day. I had suffered much from rheumatism in the past, and the exposure of sleeping in wet grass the night before, and the hard tramping on this day, had begun to make themselves felt by a painful stiffening. Finding my position on the ground too cramped, I rose to stretch myself, and then the combined ludicrousness and danger of this form of taking comfort dawned upon me, and I laughed and got down close to the ground again. The fire came my way again. Perhaps my own absent-mindedness had caused it. As I lay there watching the grass go down as the bullets zipped it ofi', I could not help wondering how many tons of hay a horse rake could take up here on the...

Excerpt from War Impressions, Being a Record in Colour When my Father, home from the War, was showing to me the sketches he had made in South Africa, he told some interesting incident about almost every one of them; and it occurred to me that he was inadvertently providing material for a book. This volume is the result. I endeavoured to write down all he said; and I trust that what I have written is at least a faithful record. My skill in the Art of Letters is not nearly equal to my father's in the Graphic Art; yet I have done my best, and shall be well content if my share in this work is considered not altogether unworthy of the pictures, about which, surely, there can be no doubt at all!

Through a detailed examination of newspaper coverage from 1899-1914, this book seeks to understand the vicarious experience of warfare held by Edwardians at the outset of the First World War. The attitudes towards and perceptions of war held by those who participated in it or encouraged others to do so, are crucial to our understanding of the origins of the First World War. Taking into account media history, cultural studies and military history, Wilkinson argues that the press depicted war as distant and safe; beneficial and desirable and even as some kind of sport or game. We are cautioned to avoid the same misconceptions of war in our own contemporary discussions of armed conflict.
