The Great War: 1914–1918 is a broad history of the First World War that brings together military operations, political decision-making and the mobilisation of societies for total war. Beckett follows the conflict across the principal fronts while examining manpower, technology, alliance strategy and the pressures placed on civilians and governments. The book explains how a crisis in 1914 became a prolonged industrial war and how its outcome transformed Europe and the wider world.
