Keegan's account of WWI looks at the war on all fronts, from its political and cultural origins to the bloody conclusion. He assesses the commanders and considers the difficulties and limited options that appeared to those involved, slow communications by telegraph, tactics and strategy made possible by the advances in weapons technology, and war plans based on the logistics of railway networks. Dustjacket torn and marked. Good reading copy.
