This book tells the story of the Great War from its origins in the tangled web of European alliances and rivalries to its bloody conclusion on the battlefields of France, Belgium, and beyond. It is a story of courage and sacrifice, of heroism and heartbreak. It is a story of how the world was plunged into darkness and how it emerged, forever changed. The Great War was a watershed moment in world history.
