The program’s format centers on dramatized material rather than a single continuing cast or storyline. The title identifies this recording as a log book, suggesting a focus on a written record, while the series itself offered a range of wartime subjects and perspectives.

With its serious, documentary-minded approach and dramatic presentation, Words at War offers a glimpse of how radio adapted written accounts of the war for a broad audience.
