The Experience of the First World War

This volume brings together contributions from a wide range of scholars to present a comprehensive and detailed picture of what World War I was like for all those whom it affected. It is about the human aspects and consequences of the war rather than the events themselves, whether it be the experience of the merchant seaman, the German stormtrooper or the British working man. First-hand testimonies, and a large selection of images help to make this a moving account in the historiography of the World War I.
