injure you

The First World War
by John Keegan
Engrossing. John Keegan is the finest military
historian of his time, and The First World War reflects all of his familiar
strengths- immaculate detail, strong writing, an excellent grip on his
material, and a strong sense of compassion. The book is particularly strong in
its earlier sections, dealing with the outbreak of war and the first
campaigns.- A reader from New York , July 1,
1999

A masterful account of the "War to end all wars"
Some historians said the 20th Century actually began in August of 1914 when the
First World War began. John Keegan has penned yet another winning volume of
military history with "The First World War." His comprehensive, yet
consise account of the causes, effects and costs of the war ring with a
resonance to all of us today. - Bob Delaney
(bigwhistlebd@earthlink.net) from Dallas, Texas , June 29, 1999

Outstanding. Keegan remains the master of military
history and this history of the Great War is very well done. Appropriate
reading for novice and scholar, it offers a razor-sharp overview of the war and
insightful commentary. A must for lovers of history and John Keegan's
genius. - A reader from Cal Berkeley , June 12,
1999
