John Keegan - The Great War. 1914-1918. Gift book bound in leather.

Now this war is called the First World War. And this is really the first such war, which forever divided the history of mankind into "before" and "after". The First World War also became the first modern war: for the first time, millions of deaths were counted, weapons of mass destruction were used for the first time, and for the first time the war was fought on land, at sea, and in the air. The largest military historian John Keegan, painstakingly and accurately restoring the chronology of events and dispassionately analyzing all the facts and evidence, managed to deeply understand the causes of the conflict and sum up its final results. Keegan's book, brilliantly written, elaborated in detail, became a new word in the history of the First World War.
