Description
"Ninety years have passed since the outbreak of the First World War, yet as military historian Hew Strachan argues in this brilliant and authoritative new book, the legacy of the 'war to end all wars' is with us still. A truly global conflict from the start, the war and many of its most decisive battles were fought in or directly affected the Balkans, Africa, and the Ottoman Empire. Even more than the Second World War, the First World War continues to shape the politics and international relations of our world, especially in hot spots such as the Middle East and the Balkans. Drawing on material culled from many countries, Strachan offers a fresh perspective on how the war not only redrew the map of the world but also set in motion the most dangerous conflicts of today"--BOOK JACKET.
