Hi everyone,
Philip Gibbs was one of only five official British correspondents during WW1, and this book recounts his experiences during the war. Gibbs clashed constantly with the British censors, and so as the title alludes this is now his "tell all" after the war had finished.
Unfortunately the PG transcription is missing italics and diacretics, so I'll be adding those back in during proof reading.
Thanks,
Jacob

For the cover I was thinking of using The Doctor by Nevinson, Gibbs describes a similar scene during the Battle of the Somme and I think its shock fits the theme of the book. I was also able to find a higher resolution version than what's in the database that I've attached to this email.

Looks good, assigned. Alex: can you update the source image in the artworks DB?
