Vivid and authoritative, John Buchan's masterly history of the First World War was written while the war was still in progress. While admirably cool in tone, it has the immediacy of fine journalism. Its briskly moving narrative charts the progress of the war in all the main theaters of action, including what must surely be the very first history of war in the air. It ranks among his finest achievements, and remains one of the clearest and best accounts we have of the world-shaking conflict of 1914-18.
