Introduction: imperial nightmare

Part One: We are going to lose this war ; Cataract of disaster ; Have you not got a single general in that army who can win battles? ; What the British people wants is a victory ; I am the only one trying to win the war

Part Two: Appurtenances of democracy ; Gone with the want ; Safe passage ; States of terror ; Mediterranean cranks ; 'People in England must do something - this is their empire'

Part Three: Running out of steam ; England is a village ; Master plans ; Are we never to be free of damage or death? ; Kill boche, terrify boche

Part Four: I sometimes wonder who did win this war ; What a small nation we are ; The thought of him was like home and safety ; To beat the system ; '... Only in the end to achieve nothing.'
