About

In its slaughter and consequences, the First World War was the most catastrophic event in 20th century European history. The losses were dreadful, in the millions of young dead, in the damaged infrastructure, in massive war debts. Nearly ten million soldiers died, an average of around 6,046 every day; twice that number were wounded.

In this short book, Max Egremont looks at the causes of the war, at the role of Britain's generals and at the reasons for Germany's defeat. He assesses, too, the Versailles Treaty and how much it can be blamed for the horrors which followed--only twenty years later.
