1914. World War I, #2

1914 is a work that reconstructs, chapter by chapter, one of the most devastating and transformative events in modern history. Written with historical precision, humanized prose, and a narrative that places the reader at the center of events, this work guides its audience from the imperial tensions of 1870 through to the legacy that continues to shape the world today. This second book examines not only the battles and the generals, but the lives of soldiers in the trenches, civilians under occupation, women who sustained wartime economies, and leaders who made decisions that cost millions of lives.
From the failure of the Schlieffen Plan to the Battle of the Marne, from Gallipoli to the Hundred Days Offensive, from the Russian Revolution to the Treaty of Versailles - no angle is left unexplored.
