1. 1. The First World War

   

   A concise, authoritative account of the 1914–1918 conflict that explains its political and diplomatic origins, traces how poor strategic choices, the limitations and adaptations of commanders, and rapid technological change produced a brutal, industrialized form of warfare, and examines major campaigns across the Western and other fronts while emphasizing logistics, morale, and the human cost; the book situates military operations within wider social and economic mobilization and assesses the war’s immediate consequences and its long-term impact on European and global politics.
