Description:
Profoundly influencing the history of the twentieth century, the First World War left an intense legacy that continues to affect not only those who experienced it but those who merely study it in school. It was the first conflict in which airplanes, submarines, and tanks played a significant role and the first in which casualties on the battlefield outnumbered those from disease. It precipitated the collapse of the empires of Austria-Hungary and Turkey and figured prominently in the Russian Revolution. America's entry into the war and the part it played in the peace settlement signaled the arrival on the world stage of a new great power.
Expand description
In this extensively illustrated book, an international team of experts explores these aspects of the Great War and the myriad facets of war in general. From its causes to its consequences, from the strategy of the politicians to the tactics of the generals, the course of the war is charted and its political and human consequences assessed. The legacy of 'the war to end wars' -- in poetry and prose, in collective memory and political culture -- is with us still, eighty years after that first Armistice Day. This remarkable book helps us understand that legacy.
