About this book
A Journey Through France in War Time by Joseph G. offers a vivid, firsthand travelogue of France amid the upheaval of World War I. Joseph G., a member of the American Industrial Commission to France, chronicles a 1917 odyssey from Bordeaux and Paris to the gun factories of Le Creusot, the shattered streets of Reims, and the villages within sound of the guns.
Part travel narrative, part historical report and war story, the audiobook blends on-the-ground observations of munitions plants, steel industries, and reconstruction efforts with humane sketches of soldiers, civilians, and relief work. Readers encounter meetings with military and civic leaders, descriptions of frontline life and trench-adjacent towns, and practical accounts of medical methods and industrial mobilization. The text situates these scenes in the wider context of World War I industrial and social transformation, revealing how war reshaped France’s cities, labor, and morale.
Ideal for listeners who enjoy history, travel memoirs, and war stories, this audiobook will appeal to World War I enthusiasts, industrial historians, and anyone seeking an evocative, eyewitness portrait of a nation rebuilding in wartime. Listen for a compelling blend of reportage, travel writing, and human insight.
