This war still casts its shadow today. Hundreds of thousands died under terrible conditions in a material battle of unprecedented proportions, which is rightly referred to as the European primeval catastrophe. What fate did prisoners of war suffer? How were poison gas, tanks and aeroplanes used? How did politicians organise peace after the collapse? From the feelings, fears and demands that caused the war, to the events in its theatres, to the Treaty of Versailles and the spread of the stab-in-the-back legend, this book describes all aspects of the war at the highest level, right up to the question: Was the subsequent period of peace just a deceptive pause in a single 30-year world war?
