The Great War Summary

The Great War: A Photographic Narrative by The Imperial War Museum

As we mark the centenary of the end of World War One, this astonishing book collects over five hundred remarkable photographs and rarely seen material of the war from the Imperial War Museum archives

The Great War was the first conflict to be documented in photographs. In The Great War: A Photographic Narrative, we follow the events of the war through extraordinary photographs, from the opening photograph of the gun that fired the first shot of the war to the final photograph of an audio recording showing the arrival of silence on 11th November 1918.

Imperial War Museum houses one of the greatest photographic archives of conflict in the world. This unique book is divided into five sections, each prefaced with a detailed chronology of events and a historical summary, together with detailed captions for every picture.

NOTE: Few pages are intentionally left blank.

The Great War Reviews

I have never seen or read anything that brings the First World War quite so vividly alive. -- Mark Haddon * Guardian *
Does [it] count as a book of the year? It's certainly my meticulously illustrated panorama of the year. -- Craig Taylor * Observer *
Monumental. -- Nigel Jones * Sunday Telegraph Seven *
Sampling this later photographic narrative, published ahead of next year's First World War centenary, left this reader feeling like Tommy Atkins after one of the Great Wa''s artillery barrages: shell-shocked. -- Sean O'Grady * Independent *
A spectacular pictorial history. -- Fanny Blake * Woman & Home *
