About This Item
London: William Collins, 2013 9780007398577. Fine/Fine. Hardcover. First edition. 3rd impression. No owner's name, No annotations or inscriptions, 628 pages including detailed notes and references, bibliography and index. Illustrated, Dust Jacket is not price clipped, A 'New York Times' Notable Book of 2013 and a 'Kirkus Reviews' Best Nonfiction Book of 2013. The standard image of World War I is that of muddy trenches and blasted fields, where millions of lives were wasted in grinding battles with no real gain. Yet the first months of the war were of a very different character, and far more costly, notes Max Hastings, echoing Winston Churchill's statement that: "No part of the Great War compares in interest with its opening. This book offers some answers to the huge and fascinating question 'what happened to Europe in 1914?' His narrative pricks myths and offers some striking and controversial judgements." The Amazon History Book Of The Year 2013. .
