The first collected edition of five works previously published individually. From the flap: "After a hundred years the First World War continues to both fascinate and horrify us. This volume, with a foreword by Professor Hew Strachan and contributions from three renowned historians, covers the fighting in all the theaters of the war and delves into some of the untold stories of the conflict. It examines Russia’s humiliation at Tannenberg, while the great battles on the Western Front – the Somme, Ypres, Verdun, Belleau Wood – and memorable campaigns in Palestine, Italy and Africa are all explored alongside the causes and background to the war. The new technology and tactics that resulted in the stagnation of the front lines and led to the creation of hundreds of miles of trenches are revealed and investigated, while lives of civilians and soldiers caught up in the war are explored through first-hand accounts which offer a moving and personal insight into the horrors of the Great War."
