Summary:
"The Great War was the first truly global war - one in which the world suffered more than 37 million casualties. On 28 June 1914, a Yugoslav nationlist, Gavrilo Princip, destroyed the already delicate political balance in Europe when he assassinated the Austro-Hungarian Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife in Sarajevo. It launched a domino effect series of invasions across Europe and by 11 November 1918, when the war finally ended, four empires had ceased to exist. The collection of 100 objects tells the story of the First World War in a highly engaging and very visual manner. By recalling the history of each item - whether a tank, a gas mask, a rifle or a document - and the contexts in which they played a part in the events of the war, or those that they commemorate, this fascinating book offers a fresh perspective.
