The Great War is a landmark history that firmly places the First World War in the context of imperialism. Set to overturn conventional accounts of what happened during this, the first truly international conflict, it extends the study of the First World War beyond the confines of Europe and the Western Front.

By recounting the experiences of people from the colonies especially those brought into the war effort either as volunteers or through conscription, John Morrow's magisterial work also unveils the impact of the war in Asia, India and Africa.

From the origins of World War One to its bloody (and largely unknown) aftermath, The Great War is distinguished by its long chronological coverage, first person battle and home front accounts, its pan European and global emphasis and the integration of cultural considerations with political.

Review:

'Morrow is an excellent military historian who follows quite strictly the war's events on the various fronts, revealing the colonial effort in troops and economics.' - Prof. Annette Becker, The Times Educational Supplement  

Synopsis:
"Morrow does more than simply point at a map and intone locations and dates DEL his characters become dramatic and autonomous. We do not simply learn what they did, we understand it. [ DEL] Morrow is the sort of compassionate, original historian who gives you faith in the future." The Observer "[Morrow's] work is lively, informative and based on a lifetime of reading." The Independent "ANOTHER book on the First World War? Surely not. But this one is different. With a staggering wealth of reference, John H. Morrow has produced a universal historical tapestry which weaves together the international threads that provide the woof and warp of the conflict that introduced and essentially shaped the most barbaric century in human history." The Morning Star The Great War. An Imperial History is a landmark new history that firmly places the First World War in the context of imperialism. It was the desire for empire, deeply engrained in late nineteenth and early twentieth century politics, which sparked conflicts and then war.

This compelling account moves away from a Eurocentric view of the Great War, giving due weight to the non-European people's impact on the conflict and paying attention to colonial settings of war. Now published for the first time in paperback.
