First World War Summary

First World War by John Keegan

John Keegan's The First World War is already established as the classic single volume history of the conflict. This large-format edition has been carefully abridged and reshaped by the author to give an illustrative treatment both of the military, political and historical issues of the war, and of the experience of fighting it throughout the world on land, at sea and in the air.

First World War Reviews

'Magisterial in its scope, beautifully written and literally unputdownable...I cannot recommend Keegan's book too highly.' Julian Critchley, Scotsman; 'Nobody describes a battle as Keegan does, vividly relating the unfolding events to the contours of the field of combat... This book is a kind of war memorial. As first-hand memory fades, The First World War honours the dead as only true history can.' Niall Ferguson, Sunday Times
