The Log of a Noncombatant
by Horace Green
About the author
Born in New York City in 1885, Horace Green was educated at Groton and Harvard before moving into journalism. He worked on the staff of the New York Evening Post and later reported from Europe, experience that shaped his firsthand account The Log of a Noncombatant, drawn from the opening phase of the First World War.
Green also built a career in publishing and was associated with Duffield & Company, where he served in a leadership role. Alongside that work, he wrote books of a historical and biographical kind, including studies of public figures such as Calvin Coolidge and Ulysses S. Grant.
His writing seems to have been aimed at broad, curious readers rather than specialists: clear, topical, and closely tied to public life. He died in 1943.
