Product Description

The First World War was the overwhelming disaster from which everything else in the twentieth century stemmed.

Fourteen million combatants died, a further twenty million were wounded, four empires were destroyed & even the victors’ empires were fatally damaged.

The sheer complexity & scale of the war have encouraged historians to write books on a similar scale. But now Norman Stone, one of Britain’s greatest historians, has achieved the almost impossible task of writing a terse, brilliantly written, opinionated & witty short history of the conflict.
