Written while memories of the trenches were still raw, The Book of History: The World's Greatest War from the Outbreak of the War to the Treaty of Versailles (Volume XVI) offers a chronicle of the conflict that reshaped early 20th century Europe. The guns changed the world. Guided by historian Holland Thompson, this world war i history book traces the causes and course of WWI from the outbreak of World War I and the first diplomatic shocks through the campaigns on the European fronts, to the negotiations, armistice and treaty of versailles aftermath that tried to secure peace. A major military history reference volume, it combines narrative, reflection and factual record into a single, complete world war i history as it was understood by those who had just lived through it. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it easy to enjoy today -- a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. For history students and researchers seeking an account, for military history enthusiasts fascinated by strategy and command, and for readers of Guns of August and other Barbara Tuchman World War I landmarks, it offers invaluable insight into how the war and the treaty were interpreted in their own time. Both an accessible reading experience and an addition to any library, The Book of History stands as more than background to later scholarship: a cultural artefact that captures the immediate legacy of the world's greatest war.
