The origins of the First World War, both diplomatic and social, are discussed thoroughly examined.

The war at sea, on the home front, and in distant theaters is carefully examined. The war as it was experienced by the men in the trenches is also explored.

From the Publisher


"That good things frequently come in small packages is well illustrated by De Groot's slim volume...of great use both to scholars seeking a reliable summary of the war and to those seeking a starting point for more detailed study..." --Choice
