Summary

It was called the Great War because so many nations fought and so many people died. The first full-scale war to employ modern weapons, the conflict of 1914-18 was also called "the war to end all wars" because it was unthinkable that humankind would allow such carnage to be repeated. And then, in 1939, World War II began, and World War I acquired its permanent name. In these pages Russell Freedman gives a succinct and authoritative account of World War I-heroism and slaughter, patriotism and politics, and the international maneuvering that laid the groundwork for World War II. Drawing on eyewitness accounts and archival photographs, many shot on the battlefields and in the trenches, Freedman paints an unforgiving picture of a war that wasn't destined to be the last
