World War I

The Definitive Visual History




The ultimate guide to World War I

A uniquely accessible military history of one of the world's most devastating conflicts

Now revised and updated, World War I: The Definitive Visual Guide takes you from the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand to the Treaty of Versailles.

Each chapter begins with a map and visual timeline to set the scene for the events to follow, highlighting when, where, and why things happened and changed history as they did. A final section of the book features commemorations that took place 100 years after the war and memorials around the world built to honour those who died in the conflict. This is an engaging and visually stunning guide for anyone interested in learning more about World War I, offering a true understanding of a war that changed the course of history.
