World War I

Brigadier General S. L. A. Marshall's World War I is "far and away the best, most concise and clearest one-volume history of the war to end all wars" (Denver Post).

A "full-dress history of the war by one of our most distinguished military writers" (New York Times), this riveting history takes readers from the first shots in Sarajevo to the signing of the peace treaty in Versailles and through every bunker, foxhole, and minefield in between.

Brigadier General Marshall drew on his unique firsthand experience as a soldier and a lifetime of military service to pen this forthright, forward-thinking history of what people once believed would be the last great war.

Introduced by the Pulitzer Prize-winning historian, David M. Kennedy, World War I is a classic example of unflinching military history that is certain to inform, enrich, and deepen our understanding of this great cataclysm.
