Confessions of a War Correspondent is a republication of the writings of American journalist William G. Shepherd. He was a staff correspondent for the United Press, and this book describes Wartime Europe, from 1914 to 1916, just before America was brought into the war. He gives us sharp portraits of life at the Western Front in France, in Poland in the Eastern Front, and down in Greece covering the forgotten Salonika front.

He exemplifies an old type of sunny American optimism that we don't see in modern journalism. The opening of the book describes his attempts to get stories past the press censorship regimes of the Allies, Britain and France, and Italy, and the Entente, Germany and Austria Hungary.

This is a new edition of the public domain book that was originally published in 1917.
This new edition includes:

• Several news articles on the war under Shepherd's byline that have never been published.

• A short story written by his fellow journalist, about a soldier who nearly deserted.

• Reproductions of his original sketches and drawings

• Several footnotes illuminating the author's references.

• New format, layout, typesetting.

Bulkington Book's mission is to build a bridge into the past, before film, television, copyright, and internet swallowed up the world. We found this story worthy of revival, and we hope you find it worth your while.
