The course of events of the Great War has been told many times,
spurred by an endless desire to understand 'the war to end all
wars'. However, this book moves beyond military narrative to offer
a much fuller analysis of of the conflict's strategic, political,
economic, social and cultural impact. Starting with the context and
origins of the war, including assasination, misunderstanding and
differing national war aims, it then covers the treacherous course
of the conflict and its social consequences for both soldiers and
civilians, for science and technology, for national politics and
for pan-European revolution. The war left a long-term legacy for
victors and vanquished alike. It created new frontiers, changed the
balance of power and influenced the arts, national memory and
political thought. The reach of this acount is global, showing how
a conflict among European powers came to involve their colonial
empires, and embraced Japan, China, the Ottoman Empire, Latin
America and the United States.
