'... provides the most comprehensive and perceptive explanation yet advanced of the war's causes ... Its exhaustive detail and multilingual bibliography make it invaluable as a reference tool alone. The author's original and insightful arguments and comparisons make it the most important comprehensive history of the war that has appeared in nearly seventy years.' -War in History

'One of the most impressive books of modern history in a generation.' -Max Hastings, London Evening Standard

'... a tremendous achievement, combining narrative lucidity with original interpretation.' -David Horspool, Daily Telegraph

'For a work of such detailed and monumental scholarship, the book also remains readable and accessible ... Strachan's awesome knowledge of his subject illuminates rather than swamps his narrative.' -Sunday Times

'A towering achievement.' -Richard Holmes, The Guardian

'Magnificent...sumptuous in the energy, clarity, and breadth of its scholarship ... a masterpiece.' -Los Angeles Times

Hew Strachan's monumental account has been heralded as the definitive work on the First World War. His narrative, always readable and incisive, brings together an unparalleled range of material. Military and strategic perspectives are combined with those of cultural, diplomatic, economic, and social history. The viewpoints of Germany, England, and France are represented with equal clarity. The result is an account that breaks the bounds of national preoccupations to become both global and comparative.
