'A groundbreaking and important book that will surely reframe our
understanding of the Great War' David Lammy'A genuinely
groundbreaking piece of research' BBC History 'Meticulously
researched and beautifully written' Military History Monthly In a
sweeping narrative, David Olusoga describes how Europe's Great War
became the World's War - a multi-racial, multi-national struggle,
fought in Africa and Asia as well as in Europe, which pulled in men
and resources from across the globe. Throughout, he exposes the
complex, shocking paraphernalia of the era's racial obsessions,
which dictated which men would serve, how they would serve, and to
what degree they would suffer. As vivid and moving as it is
revelatory and authoritative, The World's War explores the
experiences and sacrifices of four million non-European, non-white
people whose stories have remained too long in the shadows.
