About this title

Review

"Every map, with its accompanying notes, is almost a chapter of history in itself....General readers as well as history students will value the atlas for its meticulously detailed information." -"Times Educational Supplement "This volume of maps of the 'war to end all wars' will be appreciated by students, historians, journalists, and others. The remarkable clarity of the maps; the detail of many maps of the trenches and battle lines around such hard-fought places as Ypres, Verdun, or Lys; and those maps treating broader issues, such as shipping losses worldwide or proposed U.S. mandates in what is now Turkey--all these add up to a useful, inexpensive, easy-to-read atlas of World War I." -"Booklist
