The Illustrated History of World War I

The first truly total war, the 'war to end all wars', shocked the world with its scale and brutality. Men from both sides went to war in August 1914 expecting to be home by Christmas, but on the Western and Italian Fronts troops became locked in a grim stalemate of trench warfare. 'The Illustrated History of World War I' recreates the battles and campaigns that raged across the surface of the globe, on land, at sea and in the air.
