From its origins to its terrible legacy, the tortuous course of the
Great War is vividly set out in a series of 196 fascinating maps.
Together the maps form a comprehensive and compelling picture of
the war that shattered Europe, and illustrate its military, social,
political and economic aspects. Beginning with the tensions that
already existed, the atlas covers: The early months of the war –
from the German attack on Belgium and France, to the fierce
fighting on the Western and Eastern Fronts The developing war in
Europe and beyond – from the Somme and Verdun to Gallipoli and
Mesopotamia, in the Near East and Africa, and in the Pacific The
war at sea and in the air – from the Zeppelin and air raids to
the naval battles, shipping losses and Atlantic convoys Life at the
front – the trench system, living underground, the mud of
Passchendaele, the French and Russian mutinies Technology and the
intensifying war – from phosgene gas to submarines, tanks and
aerial bombardment The home front – war supplies, munitions
factories, the air defence of Britain, German food riots, the entry
of the United States into the war, the Russian Revolution, and the
collapse of the Austro-Hungarian and the Ottoman Empires The
aftermath – the peace treaties and territorial changes, war
debts, war deaths, and the new map of Europe along with the visual
remembrance of the war, memorials that commemorate the tragedy.
This new edition now includes an additional 23 of Martin
Gilbert’s maps, across the whole period of the war, originally
published across a range of publications, now gathered in this one
volume for the first time.
