Product Description
Examines the events leading to the armistice of 1918 and the political, social and military consequences of this and the Versailles Treaty.
Addresses key questions such as: why did Germany agree to the harsh terms imposed in the Versailles Treaty? Why did the 'war to end all wars' lead to the outbreak of an even greater global conflict in 1939? What is the legacy of World War I, and how do we remember it today?

Editorial Reviews
Review
'these books strike a nice balance between meaty , informative text and visual source material... A valuable addition to school projects' (School Librarian, v.49, no.1, Spring 2001 )
Teenage readers who take in all four [...] will emerge with a sense of waste and tragic exhilaration. They will have taken their minds and feelings on an unforgettable and necessary journey. (TES, 12 Jan 2001 )
