Publisher's Synopsis
Using 159 maps, this book charts the tortuous and all too often bloody course of the Great War. The book includes a look at the early months of the war - from the fall of Belgium to Ypres; the developing war in Europe - from Gallipoli to the Somme; war in the air and at sea - from the German Zeppelin raids to shipping losses; and diplomacy, strategy and individual players - from French war aims and German alliances to the Russian revolution and the Versailles Treaty.
