Review
Jeffery gives the war a human face by focusing on the experience of individuals ... An absorbing and multi-layered analysis, one of the most impressive books on the First World War to have appeared in the centenary period * Times Literary Supplement * It is a global history, and its purpose is partly to remind us, through the events of this pivotal year, that the Great War was a world war ... Jeffery is particularly good at deploying anecdote to illustrate and give new insights into aspects of the war -- Simon Heffer * Literary Review * Commendable * Times Higher Educational * A remarkable panorama ... The writing is excellent ... No doubt 2016 will be a long year of anniversaries ... What better companion on this journey than Mr. Jeffery's global history? * Wall Street Journal * Richly detailed, and always fascinating.... A brilliant compendium of everything-you-didn't-know-about World War I, which, for many readers, will be a great deal * Kirkus * Jeffery presents a creative and remarkable approach to history; his passion for unearthing previously overshadowed events shines. Historians and history buffs will appreciate the humanistic touch the author portrays so well * Library Journal *
