"The Assault: Germany Before the Outbreak and England in War-Time" by Frederic William Wile is a historical account written in the early 20th century.

The book explores themes of nationalism, militarism, and the impending conflict from a personal
perspective. The opening of the book introduces Wile's intention to document a personal narrative rather than a traditional war account.
