Review # 1 was written on 2021-03-31 00:00:00 Ryan Fuselier Greatly enjoy this little book although it’s designated as a school book, I probably learned more from this than some of the giant tombs on World War I. While the book is over 100 years old it presents in concise well organized format in plain English. It’s always interesting to have the perspective of a book written shortly after an event such as this one—the title alone, the Great War, has number behind it, they only imagined that this was the war to end all wars. And I may be a bit of a fogey here but I do think we could use these books today as an effective teaching tool. they are well-made nice compact size with maps inserted along the way and a nice chronology of events at the back.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-03-28 00:00:00 Michael Meiners A wonderfully short piece of American government propaganda printed just after the close of the First World War. Printed for the purposes of educating the public on the origins, outbreak, and close of the war in 1918, this book provides the most elementary facts on the primary global powers and the differences between them that lead to World War 1. It is a great first book to be introduced to the conflict and to have difficult and complex issues like the Balkans distilled to the most base historical facts. There are maps that accompany each section and every chapter is broken down very intuitively, pre war break downs for each country, then each year of the war and a few of the major events that defined that year. The book was written before the summation of diplomatic negotiations, so it ends with a breakdown of Woodrow Wilson's 14 Points. So glad I found this little gem at The Last Bookstore (Support Independent Bookstores!), I will definitely be returning to it often as a quick guide on The Great War.
