Humanity fights back from "summary" of The War of The Worlds by Hg Wells

And strange as it may seem, that night, the most extraordinary thing that has ever happened to me happened. War, you know, had come to us. And some of us were fighting, and some of us were falling. And my brother was lying dead on the common, struck by some unfamiliar weapon that had thundered through the air. I hardly knew what happened after that.
