This guide has been written specifically for people with little or no prior knowledge of the First World War and will be an ideal introduction to what can be a very complicated and daunting subject. Written in an engaging way, this is more like a chat down the pub rather than a heavy historical text, and with short, sharp chapters it is very easy to dive in and out without having to re-read the previous 5 pages in an effort to remember where you left off last time your were reading. Despite this easy going nature this is not a flimsy piece of work. Made up of 53 chapters, all the major aspects of The First World War are covered.
