'An Illustrated Account of Warfare Along the Western Front and on the Gallipoli Peninsula.'
The Great War of 1914-1918 was among the most devastating ever fought. From the first shots in Serbia to the failed German spring offensives and eventual victory by the Allies, Battles of WWI covers the major campaigns fought on the Western Front, including Ypres, The Somme and Passchendaele, as well as the conflict on the Gallipoli peninsula. It examines the introduction of new and terrible weapons - the machine-gun, the hand grenade, and poison gas - while never forgetting the horrific human cost of these innovations.
Includes over 130 photographs and battle maps.
