The Great War

Viac o knihe

In his classic text on the First World War, distinguished military historian Correlli Barnett vividly illuminates the complex story of the war that left millions dead and changed the face of the Europe forever. Drawing on accounts of ordinary soldiers as well as primary sources, Correlli Barnett tells the story of the war from the initial causes through the long, bitter years of stalemate on the Western Front, to the compromise peace in 1918. He follows the campaign through all theatres of war—land, air, and sea—from the trenches to the strength of the civilians on the Home Front.
