Black also considers the struggle not only in its historical context, but also how it has been remembered and memorialised, especially as the generation who experienced it firsthand are passing away.Now in paperback, this book has been updated with a foreword and afterword to consider recent developments.

Even though many general histories of the Great War have been published in recent years, this one is well worth adding to the shelves. * The Bulletin of the Military History Society, Vol. 62, No. 246 *[Blacks] overview of the causes of the Great War, the year by year chapters from 1914 to 1918 on the events, the battle and the politics show a mastery of the subject, particularly the many slideshows and the politics so often overlooked in similar one-volume works on the subject. * Stand-To, Western Front Association *One of the books greatest strengths is that it is a truly global history of the war, containing insight and analysis of all fronts and not falling into the traditional trap of focusing excessively on the western front. Moreover, Jeremy Black takes a holistic approach to the history of war and moves with evident ease through the worlds of strategy, tactics, logistics, politics, armaments, and industry, constantly reminding the reader that this was not only a world war but a total war. -- James L.
