An Incomplete History of World War I - Hardcover

The first title to be launched in the series, "An Incomplete History of World War I" takes the reader on an eccentric and exciting journey. Instead of providing a complicated and dense overview, it focuses on poignant events - extraordinary, heroic and obscure - ranging from little-known episodes in major Western Front battles to the valiant exploits of outlandish individuals on the remote frontiers of the conflict. It will help the reader not only understand the war's causes and effects but also to appreciate the profound and lasting ways in which it affected individual lives.
