Rilegato. Condition: quasi ottimo. Dust Jacket Condition: molto buono. prima edizione. World War I was the most terrible conflict ever fought. It was also the first modern war involving not merely armies and navies, but whole nations. The comfortable world of 1914 was shattered forever by the guns of August when the German armies blasted their way into Belgium and France. After four terrible years of war in which millions died, a war fought with new and terrible weapons like the submarine and airplane, the Zeppelin and the tank, not to mention the horrors of gas warfare, the world of 1919 found a weakened Europe and a nationalistic spirit awakened in peoples, both in Europe and in the colonial world. The story of World War I, the men who fought it, the weapons they used and the great battles in which they fought is told vividly and dramatically by Susanne Everett, author of The Slaves, Lost Berlin and numerous articles on 19th- and 20th-century British history. This lavishly illustrated work, with over four hundred photographs, paintings and posters in color and black and white as well as over 20 maps, is the best large-scale attempt to analyze World War I. Both the text and the illustrations supersede all other works. World War I will become a standard reference work for many years to come.
