About the author
Active in the early twentieth century, Réginald Kann left behind a body of work centered on war reporting and military affairs. Records from the Bibliothèque nationale de France list books, articles, and photographic material connected with his name, including work on Korea and Manchuria from 1904.
His best-known titles include Journal d’un correspondant de guerre en Extrême-Orient, along with writings on Casablanca, General d’Amade’s operations, and the French protectorate in Morocco. These works suggest a writer who followed major conflicts closely and aimed to explain both what he saw and how campaigns were conducted.
Archival records also identify him as Réginald Salomon Kann and confirm his dates as 1876–1925. Taken together, the surviving publications present him as a vivid chronicler of war whose perspective joined eyewitness observation with military analysis.
