The 1914-1918, the history of World War I by David Stevenson, has been praised as the definitive monograph on the conflict. In the summer of 1914, Europe erupted in a frenzy of mass violence. The ensuing war had global repercussions, destroying four empires and costing the lives of millions. Even the victorious countries bore the war's imprint for a generation, and even today we find ourselves in the shadow of the conflict. In this analysis, David Stevenson reexamines the causes, course, and impact of this 'war to end all wars,' placing it in the context of its era and revealing its underlying dynamics. His book provides a broad international history, drawing from the latest research approaches. It offers intriguing answers to the fundamental questions about how this terrifying conflict developed: questions that remain disturbingly relevant.
