The Great War by Ian F W Beckett
Starting with the context and origins of the war, this work questions common assumptions about the nature of the First World War and how it has been consistently and, wrongly, perceived as an exercise in futility. It also covers the course of the conflict and its consequences for states, societies, and individuals.-
