| Zusammenfassung: | From a premier military historian comes a stunningly illustrated volume incorporating an abridged text of his bestselling "The First World War." Full color and b&w. Now Keegan has gathered together 475 photographs, maps, & other illustrations that allow us to see what his text so brilliantly describes: the startling ferocity of the conflict; the hellish nature of the trenches; the legendary battles of Flanders, the Somme, Verdun, Gallipoli, & their aftermaths; the tanks, submarines, & airplanes new to the battlefield; the faces of the statesmen who made the war & the soldiers who fought it. Together, text & illustrations give us the most comprehensive & illuminating history we have of the First World War, the progenitor of all 20th-century warfare. John Keegan's The First World War was everywhere praised, and became the definitive account of the war that created the modern world The New York Times Book Review acclaimed Keegan as "the best military historian of our day," and the Washington Post called the book "a grand narrative history [and] a pleasure to read." Now Keegan gives us a lavishly illustrated history of the war, brilliantly interweaving his narrative-some of it derived from his classic work and some of it new-with a brilliant selection of photograps, paintings, cartoons and posters drawn from archives across Europe and America, some published here for the first time. These images take us into the heart of battles that have become legend: Ypres, Gallipoli, Verdun, the Somme. They show us the generals' war and the privates' war-young soldiers, away from home for the first time, coming of age under fire. We see how a civilization at the height of its power and influence crippled itself as the faith in progress, rationalism and liberalism that had prevailed in Europe since the Enlightenment was shattered We see how four empires-the German, the Russian, the Austro-Hungarian and the Ottoman-collapsed, and how the seeds for the Second World War were planted. Keegan tells how ambition, mistrust and failures of diplomacy and communication all played a part in allowing this conflict to set ablaze what was then the world's most prosperous society. And he describes how the effects of this war lasted long after it ended; its ghosts still haunt Europe today. An iIllustrated History of the First World War carries us across the Europe of nearly a century ago, revealing the devastation, camaraderie, political machinations and battlefield maneuverings that changed the world. It presents the essential cast of that cataclysmic drama, from the decision makers at the top-Haig, Joffre, Hindenberg, Pershing-to the troops in the trenches. Through its unique amalgam of pictorial and narrative brilliance, the book illuminates the war as no other work has done |

Full color and b&w. Now Keegan has gathered together 475 photographs, maps, & other illustrations that allow us to see what his text so brilliantly describes: the startling ferocity of the conflict; the hellish nature of the trenches; the legendary battles of Flanders, the Somme, Verdun, Gallipoli, & their aftermaths; the tanks, submarines, & airplanes new to the battlefield; the faces of the statesmen who made the war & the soldiers who fought it. Together, text & illustrations give us the most comprehensive & illuminating history we have of the First World War, the progenitor of all 20th-century warfare. John Keegan's The First World War was everywhere praised, and became the definitive account of the war that created the modern world</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="520" ind1="3" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">The New York Times Book Review acclaimed Keegan as "the best military historian of our day," and the Washington Post called the book "a grand narrative history [and] a pleasure to read." Now Keegan gives us a lavishly illustrated history of the war, brilliantly interweaving his narrative-some of it derived from his classic work and some of it new-with a brilliant selection of photograps, paintings, cartoons and posters drawn from archives across Europe and America, some published here for the first time. These images take us into the heart of battles that have become legend: Ypres, Gallipoli, Verdun, the Somme. They show us the generals' war and the privates' war-young soldiers, away from home for the first time, coming of age under fire. We see how a civilization at the height of its power and influence crippled itself as the faith in progress, rationalism and liberalism that had prevailed in Europe since the Enlightenment was shattered</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="520" ind1="3" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">We see how four empires-the German, the Russian, the Austro-Hungarian and the Ottoman-collapsed, and how the seeds for the Second World War were planted. Keegan tells how ambition, mistrust and failures of diplomacy and communication all played a part in allowing this conflict to set ablaze what was then the world's most prosperous society. And he describes how the effects of this war lasted long after it ended; its ghosts still haunt Europe today. An iIllustrated History of the First World War carries us across the Europe of nearly a century ago, revealing the devastation, camaraderie, political machinations and battlefield maneuverings that changed the world. It presents the essential cast of that cataclysmic drama, from the decision makers at the top-Haig, Joffre, Hindenberg, Pershing-to the troops in the trenches.

Ill., Kt. txt rdacontent sti rdacontent n rdamedia nc rdacarrier The text is an abridgment of the author's The First World War. - Includes bibliographical references (p. 411-414) and index From a premier military historian comes a stunningly illustrated volume incorporating an abridged text of his bestselling "The First World War." Full color and b&w. Now Keegan has gathered together 475 photographs, maps, & other illustrations that allow us to see what his text so brilliantly describes: the startling ferocity of the conflict; the hellish nature of the trenches; the legendary battles of Flanders, the Somme, Verdun, Gallipoli, & their aftermaths; the tanks, submarines, & airplanes new to the battlefield; the faces of the statesmen who made the war & the soldiers who fought it. Together, text & illustrations give us the most comprehensive & illuminating history we have of the First World War, the progenitor of all 20th-century warfare. John Keegan's The First World War was everywhere praised, and became the definitive account of the war that created the modern world The New York Times Book Review acclaimed Keegan as "the best military historian of our day," and the Washington Post called the book "a grand narrative history [and] a pleasure to read." Now Keegan gives us a lavishly illustrated history of the war, brilliantly interweaving his narrative-some of it derived from his classic work and some of it new-with a brilliant selection of photograps, paintings, cartoons and posters drawn from archives across Europe and America, some published here for the first time. These images take us into the heart of battles that have become legend: Ypres, Gallipoli, Verdun, the Somme. They show us the generals' war and the privates' war-young soldiers, away from home for the first time, coming of age under fire. We see how a civilization at the height of its power and influence crippled itself as the faith in progress, rationalism and liberalism that had prevailed in Europe since the Enlightenment was shattered We see how four empires-the German, the Russian, the Austro-Hungarian and the Ottoman-collapsed, and how the seeds for the Second World War were planted. Keegan tells how ambition, mistrust and failures of diplomacy and communication all played a part in allowing this conflict to set ablaze what was then the world's most prosperous society. And he describes how the effects of this war lasted long after it ended; its ghosts still haunt Europe today. An iIllustrated History of the First World War carries us across the Europe of nearly a century ago, revealing the devastation, camaraderie, political machinations and battlefield maneuverings that changed the world. It presents the essential cast of that cataclysmic drama, from the decision makers at the top-Haig, Joffre, Hindenberg, Pershing-to the troops in the trenches.
