Zusammenfassung

An account of World War I, this edition examines the experience of nations drawn into the conflict from the perspectives of both the Home Front and the Trenches. It explodes the myths and assumptions surrounding the course of the First World War and replaces them with an account of this 'seminal catastrophe of the Twentieth Century'.

The First World War by Stuart Robson

This is a compelling account of the First World War. It offers clear analysis of the war on land, sea, and air, and considers the impact of the war on Europe's civilian population. Issues addressed include the relationship between war and industrialisation, trench warfare, the long term effects of the war on changing social structures, and economic and demographic consequences. The main text is supplemented by a rich selection of primary source material (from songs, soldiers' slang, to diary accounts).

"This book is eminently suitable for use in high schools, two-year colleges and basic introductory courses at four-year colleges and universities"
Jesse Kauffmann, Stanford University

Stuart Robson taught for 35 years at Trent University, Canada and won the Symons Award for Excellence in Teaching. He says he learnt a lot about World War One and World War Two from his students, particularly those who were veterans of World War Two.
