Quite good but a few errors
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This is basically a well-written and eye-pleasing book. It is printed on slick paper with the pages being typing paper size, and about half of each page is devoted to (black and white) photographs, sidebars, and/or maps. The maps are uncluttered line drawings, while the sidebars are mostly devoted to personalities and weapons. The profiles of the leading personalities presented in these sidebars cover the major controversies as well as the major facts, and often give an assessment of the individual. The photographs, which are frequently cleverly trimmed to fit nicely into the text, are each given a one-sentence caption. The chronology itself, which spacewise occupies only about one half of the book, is brief on any one item, but covers the essentials of the war in a very readable and understandable way--in fact I read the book straight through as a short history of WWI. The only thing that keeps me from giving the book a five star rating is a few inexplicable errors, perhaps the most glaring of which is that in two separate photographs, one of the Kaiser's sons is identified as the Kaiser himself. Even so, I consider this one of the best books on WWI that I own.
