"... an engaging and fascinating introduction to the 'War to end all Wars.' Expertly assessed and broken down into manageable bite-sized chunks, it is extremely well-written and covers every aspect of this appalling conflict, both on the front line and behind the scenes. As military history for the layman goes, this volume comes out top of the premier league." (This England, August 2014) "The author succeeds in communicating the complexities of the whole issue in a straightforward, impartial and easy-to-read style... helping the reader to understand the Great War and all its many facets." (Leopard Magazine, July 2014) "... this beautifully constructed and richly detailed book goes into the complicated reasons behind the start of the war and tracks its progress in an easy-to-follow manner" (On: Yorkshire Magazine, June 2014) "This book is brilliant. Well-researched and full of anything you would want to know about World War I." (Frost Magazine, June 2014)"
