En savoir plus sur le livre

While several straightforward narratives have been written about World War I, few have attempted a month-by-month approach to both the major events and lesser episodes of the Great War. In this illustrated chronology, each year of World War I from 1914 to 1918 is prefaced with a brief introduction followed by a one- to eight-page spread for every month. April 1917, for example, includes coverage of major events like the declaration war by the United States, the German retreat to the Hindenburg Line, the Anglo-Canadian victory at Arras, the beginning of France's disastrous Nivelle offensive, and German victory at the second Battle of Gaza. Narratives of each event are written in a lively style illustrated with maps and frontline photography. Every monthly section also includes a sidebar highlighting comparatively minor events.
