The First World War also known as the Great War involved over thirty nations and resulted in the deaths of millions of young men. This stunning new book brings history to life as we follow the fortunes of a group of young conscripts and volunteers to discover what life was really like in the trenches and how they coped with the horrors of the front line. Introducing the advent of tanks, airplanes, air raids, submarines and gas attacks, we take a close look at the first modern war of the 20th Century. From the assassination the Arch Duke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo to the signing of the armistice, we see for ourselves what life was like in the trenches, on the home front, at sea and in the air. This is more than just a history book; it is a journey into another age.
