The first global conflict of the twentieth century is the single subject of this 372-page DK hardcover.
Concentrating on one war rather than surveying many gives the book room to follow the conflict's course, its technology and its consequences at a steadier pace. DK's approach places photographs, documents and artwork alongside the written account, which helps with a war whose sheer scale is difficult to convey in summary alone. The hardback edition is built to be kept and returned to rather than read once and shelved, and the length allows both the military and the human sides of 1914 to 1918 to be given space.
What the pages hold:
• 372 pages devoted to the war of 1914 to 1918
• Published by DK in a hardcover edition
• Written account supported throughout by visual material
• Single-conflict focus instead of a general history survey
Well matched to history students, general readers and anyone researching the period, and it can be ordered at Boipoka.
