World War I might conjure up images of the trenches of the Western
Front where the fighting raged for nearly four and half years, but
this was only part of what was truly a world war. It was a complex
conflict fought in a number of theatres: an air war, a land war
fought in the Balkans, Italy, Africa, Turkey and the Middle East,
and also a naval war fought in the North Sea, South Atlantic, South
Pacific and Indian Oceans. The ‘Great War’ introduced killing
on an unprecedented scale and resulted in the loss of millions of
lives. World War I Illustrated Atlas is a comprehensive visual
guide to this complex conflict. In fine detail, it plots the exact
course of the land, sea and air campaigns, enabling the reader to
trace the ebb and flow of the fortunes of all sides. With more than
180 full-colour maps, every theatre of war is covered – from the
Western Front to Penang, from Gallipoli to Galicia, from Dogger
Bank to Dalmatia, from Romania to Rhodesia and from the Falklands
to Togo and the Sinai desert. All the maps have been specially
commissioned from an expert cartographer. Each map is designed to
highlight a particular aspect of the war – thus maps vary in
shape and size, with some giving a global perspective while others
depict the exact movement of armed forces on land, sea or in the
air. Battles such as Jutland, the Somme, Cambrai and the Gallipoli
campaign are shown in great detail. All maps are accompanied by an
explanatory key. With expert, accessible text and accompanying
archival photographs, this complete atlas provides an invaluable
work of reference for both the general reader and the serious
student of World War I.
