The First World War is a breathtaking new look at the conflict that transformed the 20th century, by the Chichele Professor of the History of War at Oxford University, Hew Strachan. It is the companion volume to the 10-part Channel 4 television series to which Strachan is chief consultant. Fully illustrated throughout, The First World War provides a completely new, finely argued perspective, overturning contemporary received wisdom about the war. Powerful, compelling and authoritative, this is a book based on immense knowledge - it is modern history writing at its best. |

A War in Words tells the story of the First World War on a powerful human scale, through the letters and diaries of those whose lives were transformed by the conflict. While researching the Channel 4 television series The First World War, Svetlana Palmer and Sarah Wallis uncovered an extensive range of personal writing, much of which had never before been published. From the testimony of a Serbian teenager, one of Archduke Franz Ferdinand's assassins, to the thoughts of a French soldier as he revisits a battlefield in 1919, this is a moving and complex view of the war seen through the lives of the individuals caught up in it. |
