From the Publisher:
The First World War was a conşict that left millions dead and changed the face of Europe forever. Here, drawing on the accounts of ordinary soldiers as well as primary sources, historian Correlli Barnett tells the full story of the war—from its causes, through the long years of stalemate on the Western Front, to the compromise peace in 1918. He follows the campaign through all theaters of the war—land, air, and sea—from the trenches to the civilians on the Home Front. A companion book to the magnificent 26–part BBC television series, The Great War has been updated with new material by the series writers to include the most recent scholarship on the First World War. Correlli Barnett was educated at Exeter College, Oxford and is the author of many highly praised works of military history, including The Desert Generals, Hitler’s General, and Britain and Her Army.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The catastrophe which overtook Europe from 1914 to 1918 was a conflict so terrible and so gigantic that it is referred to simply as The Great War. In this text, Corelli Barnett traces the history of the war from its origins in a Europe wracked with political and ethnic tensions, through the years of bitter struggle, appalling losses and destruction on a titanic scale, to its bitter end in the fatally-flawed armistice of 11th November 1918. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR005613964
