Preface

World War I was supposed to be the “War to end all Wars”. Probably that will never happen. It was the first major war that covered many nations of the world and decimated a generation of Europeans. Over 10 million people died during the 1914 to 1918 period.

This title looks at the major battles of the war, the people and strategies involved, and details the casualties in each case.

The following people contributed greatly to the development of this title:

Patricia Priestley, Peter Macinnnis, Jenny Hamilton and David Webster.
