World War I In Photographs contains some 800 photographs with extensive information, dealing with the most important aspects of World War I.

New facts and fresh insights together with the original photographs combine to make this book of great interest and a good read for both those with a passing interest and true historians. It makes a valuable contribution to the recent upsurge in interest in this world conflict that was to be followed twenty years later by a further equally horrendous war that once again cost millions of lives.

This book - with its dramatic photographs and clear text - draws on new facts and provides fresh insights into every aspect concerning this war, from the Franco-Prussian war of 1870-1871, through the imperialism of the great powers, their system of alliances, the assassination of the heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, the military planning, the outbreak of war, the most important battles, the naval war, the decision of America to join in, the Russian Revolution, and the final German offensives, to the armistice talks and eventually Peace Treaty of Versailles.
