An astonishing visual account of the 'Great War', recounting the loss, the tragedy, the courage and the horror of military action in vivid detail. Over 200 original photographs chart the events of 1914-1918, from early mobile warfare through the grim slogging matches in the trenches to Germany's last desperate throw of the dice and eventual allied victory. This book encompasses war on the ground, in the air, at sea and on the home front.
