By the time the First World War ended in 1918, eight million people
had died in what had been perhaps the most apocalyptic episode the
world had known. This Very Short Introduction provides a concise
and insightful history of the 'Great War', focusing on why it
happened, how it was fought, and why it had the consequences it
did. It examines the state of Europe in 1914 and the outbreak of
war; the onset of attrition and crisis; the role of the US; the
collapse of Russia; and the weakening and eventual surrender of the
Central Powers. Looking at the historical controversies surrounding
the causes and conduct of war, Michael Howard also describes how
peace was ultimately made, and the potent legacy of resentment left
to Germany. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series
from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost
every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to
get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine
facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make
interesting and challenging topics highly readable.
