I'm not a historian, but could be on my way.

I'm a student of the Great War, not a scholar. The text is terse yet totally complete. The style is never intimidating and the content stays pertinent to the subject being defined. If an expanded definition is required, just look up one of the CAPITALIZED words in the text, and you will find that word listed as well. Thank you.
