A hundred years has passed since the outbreak of World War I, yet as military historian Hew Strachan argues in this great and authoritative new book, the legacy of the "war to end all wars" has been us still. The First World War was a truly global conflict right away, with many of the most decisive battles fought in or immediately affecting the Balkans, Africa, and the Ottoman Empire. A lot more than World War II, the First World War continues to condition the politics and international relations of our world. Strachan has done a masterful job of reexamining the causes, the major promotions, and the consequences of the First World War, compressing an eternity of knowledge into an individual definitive volume designed for the overall listener. Written in crisp, engaging prose, The First World War re-creates this world-altering discord both on / off the battlefield - the clash of ideologies between the colonial capabilities at the center of the conflict, the public and financial unrest that swept European countries both before and after, the military strategies hired with stunning success and tragic inability in the many theaters of conflict, the conditions of peace and why it didn't previous.
