Publisher's Summary:

World War I was one of the bloodiest wars in modern history. At its end, it had claimed over 17 million lives. It led to the collapse of nations, the abdication of monarchies, and the end of empires. Entire divisions of men perished in the pursuit of mere miles of uninhabitable wasteland - towns were pulverized and millions displaced. It became a horrendous war of attrition, each side competing to kill as many of their foe as possible.

You will hear about....

It became the first industrialized war in history and introduced revolutionary technology into the fray. The airplane, the tank, and the machine gun first saw action collectively during the conflict. It was also the first war in which poison gas was used to choke young men out of their trenches.

This audiobook is a timeline account of the important events that shaped the First World War. It details the events and causes that led the world to war. This audiobook covers the milestone moments, important battles, and how the outcome changed the world forever.

Members Reviews:

Essentially a high school paper

The intent of this book is to simply give a brief summary of the First World War, so I did not expect much going in, as I have studied the Great War extensively. However, while this book does a generally acceptable quick overview of the conflict, it is full of annoying errors and clunky language. Most of the errors are miniscule, but they remain consistently there. The most glaring of these is the author's persistent mistake in referring to the Balkans as the Baltic.

Overall, if anyone is looking for a good quick overview of the First World War I word skip this book and go with Norman Stone's book instead.

Intriguing explanations of an unforgettable War

Both sides strived to slay countless adversaries. World War One developed into awful combat of slow destruction. Cities were crushed and masses lost all they had. Pursuing vast ransacked badlands, partitions of civilization died. This read is laden with facts including biological armaments, dugout combat, air combat and much more between enemies. A well written book with intriguing explanations of an unforgettable War.

Worth an hour of my life!

A previously written review criticizes the first lines of the introduction; and it sounds like he didn't read any further. Much is taught about wwII, in school and books and movies. WWI doesn't seem to get equal time. For this reason I found this book very helpful in understanding that war and the technology born out of it. I like how it is set up as a chapter for each year, and each year gone through month by month. I have a better understanding and more interest in reading a more detailed history of this awful war. Well worth an hour of your time!
