A remarkable and concise history of World War I, by a Wolfson Prize-winning historian

Smooth, efficient and highly readable... full of fascinating asides for those who thought that European history could hold no more surprises for them. -Wall Street Journal

The First World War was the overwhelming disaster from which everything else in the twentieth century stemmed. Fourteen million combatants died, four empires were destroyed, and even the victors' empires were fatally damaged. In World War One, Norman Stone, one of the world's foremost historians of the twentieth century, has achieved the almost impossible task of writing a brief volume encompassing this epic war. A captivating, brisk history whose brevity belies its wealth of detail, World War One is Stone's masterful retelling of the war that created the modern world.
