1914-1918, David Stevenson's history of the First World War, has
been acclaimed as the definitive one-volume account of the conflict
In the summer of 1914 Europe exploded into a frenzy of mass
violence. The war that followed had global repercussions,
destroying four empires and costing millions of lives. Even the
victorious countries were scarred for a generation, and we still
today remain within the conflict's shadow. In this major analysis
David Stevenson re-examines the causes, course and impact of this
'war to end war', placing it in the context of its era and exposing
its underlying dynamics. His book provides a wide-ranging
international history, drawing on insights from the latest
research. It offers compelling answers to the key questions about
how this terrible struggle unfolded: questions that remain
disturbingly relevant for our own time. 'It's harder to imagine a
better single-volume comprehensive history of the conflict than
this superb study' Ian Kershaw 'Perhaps the best comprehensive
one-volume history of the war yet written' New Yorker 'David
Stevenson is the real deal ... His defining characteristic is his
outstanding rigour as an historian ... tremendously clever' Niall
Ferguson 'This history of the 1914-1918 conflict surpasses all
others. It is tough, erudite and comprehensive' Independent
