Civilization by Georges Duhamel
Civilization, 1914–1917 is Georges Duhamel’s largely autobiographical account of his work as a French physician during World War I. Presented as sixteen first‑person vignettes set in mobile field hospitals near the front, the book focuses on the human cost of modern warfare—wounded men, exhausted caregivers, and moral frustration—using vivid medical detail and character portraits to bear witness to the realities of the Western Front and to question what 'civilization' means in an age of mechanized destruction.
