Recenzii
By incorporating the most recent scholarship on the First World War, this third edition expands what was already an excellent account of the conflict. William Storey deftly brings together multiple approaches to the war in his compelling analysis, and his emphasis on environmental and technological factors provides a vital contribution to understanding both the conflict's global dimensions and its legacies today.
Storey's concise global history of World War I is an accessible, readable history of the experiences and impacts of the Great War as it played out across the world. It addresses all of the traditional themes of significance while taking into account imperial and ecological issues that recent histories have urged us to consider. A timely addition to the vast literature of the war that will serve students well.
This is an useful work for anyone interested in the First World War, and a particularly valuable one for those lacking much prior knowledge of the conflict, and as a recommended reading in a modern history course.
