50 Things You Should Know About The First World War by Jim Eldridge

50 Things You Should Know About the First World War is the perfect introduction to a tragic chapter in world history, published to mark the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War.

‘Taking the war year by year adds a further level of coherence which is then enhanced  by the timeline that features as each new chapter (or year) opens’

'The main 50 points aren't all just regarding key events – Verdun, Vimy Ridge et al. They bring many of the relevant areas of the war to life – from the women left working on the home front or the Italian situation to the use of tanks, planes, propaganda, chemical warfare€ ¦ Quite often you get the empathy of the people alive through the decade, and therefore this book would hit many points on a teacher's curriculum.'
