World War I saw the introduction of modern technology into the military arena: The tank, airplane, machine gun, submarine, and most lethal of all poison gas, all received their first widespread use. Professor Stokesbury analyzes these technological innovations and the war's complex military campaigns in lucid detail. At the same time he discusses the great political events that unfolded during the war, such as the Russian Revolution and the end of the Hapsburg dynasty, putting the social and political side of the war into the context of modern European history.
is the first history of this war to be written in twenty years. It incorporates recent research and current thinking about the war in a highly readable and lively style.
