The Macmillan Dictionary of the First I/Vorld I/Var is a uniquely wide-ranging guide to all aspects of the Great War. The book’s comprehensive coverage of total warfare — the battles, commanders, weapons, tactics and strategies — is interwoven with analyses of the sweeping political, social and economic changes imposed on a world order in terminal convulsion. Many books on the subject hitherto have largely concentrated on the Western Front, with forays into the Atlantic, Mesopotamia, Gallipoli, and other theatres where British and Empire forces were in action. In contrast, The Macmillan Dictionary of the First I/Vorld I/Var represents the perspective of a new generation of historians, looking at the War as a pan-European — and indeed global — conflict. Thus the book concentrates as much on the French, German, American, Italian, Russian, Turkish and Austro-Hungarian experiences — together with those of the many other participating peoples and nations — as on the British and Commonwealth involvement. In all, there are some 1200 carefully cross-referenced entries, together with a detailed day-by-day chronology and a generous provision of specially commissioned maps. THE AUTHORS Stephen Pope and Elizabeth-Anne Wheal were history scholars at Oxford and Cambridge respectively. Among their other reference works is their Dictionary of the Second I/I/orld I/I/hr (published in a new edition by Macmillan). For reviews of this book, turn to the back cover. THE CONSULTANT EDITOR Professor Keith Robbins is Vice-Chancellor of the University of Wales, Lampeter. He is Editor of the Longman series “Profiles in Power”, and author of many books on modern British and European history, including The First I/Vorld I/Var (Oxford University Press, 1984). b24.…
