Winston Churchill's outstanding account of the events leading up to and the developments of World War I is a defining work of twentieth-century history. With dramatic narrative power, Churchill reconstructs the action on the Western and Eastern Fronts, the wars at sea and in the air, as well as the introduction of tanks and submarines. He vividly describes the sinking of the Lusitania, the heroic successes of the Battle of Jutland, the 'ordeal' of Verdun, the bloodshed of Gallipoli, the Somme, and Passchendaele, as well as the entry of the USA into the conflict. Rich with personal analyses, this masterful book is a testimony to the author's role in the conduct and outcome of the Great War and fully demonstrates his brilliance as a historian.
