WORLD WAR I: A CONCISE MILITARY HISTORY
Book ID/图书代码： 00530014B76050
English Summary/英文概要： World War I was one of the great turning points in history, whose consequences continue to influence the world today; it is with little exaggeration that the war can be seen as the catalyst to the formation of the modern world. The combination of mass armies and a revolution in military technology ensured that the conflict would reach a destructiveness unknown in history, and with a geographical reach that saw a remote Balkans conflict spread swiftly across the entire globe.
The 100th anniversary of the start of World War I has led to a renewed popular interest in the war. The intention of this book is to provide the reader with a concise yet authoritative account of this conflict, explaining its causes and consequences while focusing on the conduct of the war: the great battles on land and sea and the advent of a new kind of warfare in the skies.

‘This book is a useful corrective to the view that the war consisted almost entirely of infantry battles in France. Absorbing.’ – Philip Warner, Daily Telegraph
