The Great War was the first truly global conflict and changed the course of world history.
In this work, the distinguished historian Peter Hart examines the conflict on every front worldwide, in a story that combines groundbreaking research with vivid and unusual testimonies from kings, generals, and ordinary soldiers. It particularly focuses on the development of technology and tactics during the conflict, determining which battles were critical for its outcome. Fighters from every corner of the earth participated in the showdown, but their voices are rarely heard together. It is an important history of the conflict, whose centenary is approaching.
Published in a paper edition for the anniversary of the conflict, it provides a groundbreaking and comprehensive narrative of the First World War, comparable to those of Anthony Beevor or Max Hastings.
