NOTES

This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design. A unique and haunting document from the early days of the Great War, "War Letters From The Living Dead Man" offers a perspective on global conflict unlike any other. Published in 1915, this remarkable volume purports to be a collection of spiritualistic messages transcribed by Elsa Barker from the spirit of Judge David P. Hatch of Los Angeles, who passed away in 1912. Presented as authentic 'spirit writings,' these messages deliver an otherworldly analysis of the war. The book stands as a powerful artifact at the intersection of two major cultural phenomena: the unprecedented global trauma of World War I and the widespread contemporary fascination with spiritualism. As nations grappled with catastrophic loss, Hatch's purported messages offered a framework for understanding the conflict from a spiritual plane, addressing the profound human search for meaning and reassurance about the afterlife amidst the chaos. For readers interested in unconventional historical documents, the history of spiritualism, or unique miscellanea from the World War I era, this book offers an unforgettable glimpse into how a past generation sought answers from beyond the veil
