A highly readable history of the military and political events of
World War One, this wide-ranging book begins with the state of
Europe before the war then embarks on major chapters chronicling
the war a year at a time. Major battles are interspersed with
sections detailing the weapons used from dreadnoughts and
anti-aircraft guns to U-boats and heavy field artillery, with
specification boxes providing key technical details on each weapon.
A final chapter looks at the aftermath of war and the newly
emerging European states. All aspects of the conflict are covered,
from common illnesses through to the use of propaganda and
atrocities on all sides. Key fact boxes delve into the lives of the
political leaders, generals and fighters, and also discuss the
political movements which flourished. The first battle of Ypres,
battles in Champagne and Artois, the winter offensive against
Russia, and the breaking of the Hindenburg line are all discussed
in detail. It chronicles the course of each year of the war, and
details the major events, including the battle of the Marne, the
first day of the Somme, the race to the sea, and the stalemate on
the Italian front. Fascinating fact boxes highlight the lives of
important political leaders and generals, such as Alexei Brusilov,
Henri-Philippe Petain, Douglas Haig, David Lloyd George and
President Woodrow Wilson. Illustrated with compelling and evocative
photographs taken during World War One, and featuring informative
maps and battleplans.
