In the second volume of his landmark First World War trilogy, Professor
Nick Lloyd tells the story for the first time of what Winston Churchill
once called the 'unknown war': the vast conflict in Eastern Europe and
the Balkans that brought about the collapse of three empires.
Much has been written about the fighting in France and Belgium, yet the
Eastern Front was no less bloody. Between 1914 and 1917, huge numbers
of people - perhaps as many as 16 million soldiers and two million
civilians - were killed, wounded or maimed in enormous battles that
sometimes ranged across a front of 100 km in length. Through intimate
eyewitness reports, diary entries and memoirs - many of which have
never been translated into English before - Lloyd reconstructs the full
story of a war that began in the Balkans as a local struggle between
Austria-Hungary and Serbia, and which sucked in Russia, Germany and
Italy, right through to the final collapse of the Habsburg Empire in
1918.
The Eastern Front paints a vivid and authoritative picture of a
conflict that shook the world, and that remains central to
understanding the tragic, blood-soaked trajectory of the twentieth
century, and the current war in Ukraine.
