Armistice 1918 by R G Grant
This book examines the events leading to the armistice of 1918 and the political, social and military consequences of this and the Versailles Treaty. It addresses key questions such as: why did Germany agree to the harsh terms imposed in the Versailles Treaty? Why did the 'war to end all wars' lead to the outbreak of an even greater global conflict in 1939? What is the legacy of World War I, and how do we remember it today?
