Book runs from the 1910's through the aftermath of WWI and covers families in Great Britain and Russia, with some Americans and Germans. It did touch on the uselessness of war, particularly WWI, but didn't dwell extensively on the toll of living in trenches for years on end.
It's an interesting contrast how slowly and controlledly news travelled in that era, compared to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan today. It was interesting to see how some newspapers of the time were seen as supporters of particular political agendas, similar to Fox today.
