First World War

From the fatal shots that killed Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo on June 28th 1914 to the armistice at 11am on the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, this account traces the progress of World War I in 15 chapters. John Terraine exmaines it in its entirety, from the Battle of Tannenburg to Galliopli, from East Africa to the Western Front. Naval battles and airpower also receive attention.
