Few could imagine when World War I began in 1914, that it would last for four grueling years, leaving nearly forty million casualties in its wake. With such a large, all-encompassing conflict, typical focus is on countries and ideologies, but behind this event are individual people and motives. This book explores every aspect of World War I from the events leading up to the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand to the Treaty of Versailles and its aftermath—all through fascinating primary source documents and a thrilling narration.
