First World War
The gripping story of the Great War as you've never heard it before!
A few pistol shots were all it took for all hell to break loose on Europe. A war the likes of which the world has never known has begun. The Great War, as it later came to be called, drew most of the world's powers into itself, lasted four long years and raged across the continent. Millions of people have died. Entire towns have disappeared. Empires have disappeared. But there were also stories of extraordinary heroism, air battles fought for the first time, spies criss-crossing Europe, revolutions breaking out. But why?
The first book in the Adventures in History series takes readers of all ages to the negotiating tables, deep into the trenches, and right into the heat of battle. He travels with them almost all over the world, from the poorest Balkan village to the most lavish German palaces, and tells the story of the First World War in a way unmatched by any adventure novel. Unlike them, however, this story actually happened.
