The Tn'o Wars	155
(Ey   THE TWO  WARS
Though interest in the first world war remains sufficiently
alive to call forth numbers of popular, polemical and picture
books, historians have not paid a great deal of attention to it.
The one general survey, basically a straight military history
of those four years, is rendered special and moving by the
author's ability to infuse his own experience.953 The most
important piece of historical writing, however, is Marder's
multi-volume treatment of the navy and the war at sea; of
this magnificent work the projected four volumes have now
appeared, but it looks as though another will be needed to
complete the story.984 Siney contributes a study of the other
maritime method of warfare.*85 Guinn goes the round of the
various theatres of war in order to bring out the close links
between the fighting and domestic politics.986 Moorehead
does a fine job on the most controversial of all the campaigns.987
This was probably the first of England's wars in which public
opinion, itself severely under pressure, played an important
part in affairs. Crosby usefully assembles the story of peace
moves and of protests against continued war,*88 and Hanak
demonstrates how strongly the will to fight was influenced
by the anti-Austrian propaganda of Slav exiles.*8* Official
