World War I Jace I Bower

The Great War, the War To End All Wars, the "suicide of Europe", the First World War; these are all names for the catastrophe that unraveled the world and set the tone for the bloodiest century in human history. The global inferno that we call World War I was preceded by delicate diplomatic treaties, sinister philosophies and high-strung rivalries. The conflict would introduce humanity to chemical warfare, aerial bombings and tanks. The consequences of the First World War were unimaginable and far-reaching. Even after one hundred years, we still feel the impact. This book concisely yet comprehensively explores the causes, course and consequences of the most defining event in the 20th Century--World War I.
