About the Book World War I, also known as the First World War, or the Great War, was a global war originating in Europe that lasted from 1914 to 1918. Called the "war to end all wars", more than 70 million military personnel were mobilized, and it resulted in more than 9 million military and 7 million civilians deaths. With the advent of the machinegun, but without fully developed airforce and mobile tanks, the tactical stalemate resulted in gruelling trench warfare on the Western front, Turkey (Gallipoli), and Southern (Italian) front. By contrast, battles were much more mobile on the Eastern front, and in Palestine. The war caused the collapse of the German, Austro-Hungarian and Russian empires, and significantly weakened the British Empire. The terms of the subsequent 1919 Treaty of Versailles are often held to have sown the seeds of the Second World War.

Excerpt from In Salonica With Our ArmyIt is hard to think of a better place than that for the beginning of some account of the country of which so many tens of thousands of our men are gaining an intimate knowledge, and of their difficulties and sufferings and achievements. From that high place it is possible to see all the different kinds of land which go to make up Macedonia, and to remember all the problems which mountain, valley, and plain present. And those forgotten bones were the witness of the history of the country, of all that past conduct of its affairs, of all its custom and habit - Of all those things which are producing so direct an effect on our life today. It may not appear that there is an connection between a dead Bulgarian on a little hill three thousand miles away and the war-time price of sugar in England, and yet the connection exists, and will be made plain later on.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
