	World War I - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		World War I created a decisive break with the old world order that had emerged after the Napoleonic Wars, which was modified by the mid-19th century’s nationalistic revolutions.
		The first tanks were used during the Battle of the Somme on September 15, 1916; mechanical reliability issues hampered their mobility, but the experiment proved its worth as protection against enemy weapons, particularly the machine gun.

		Despite the avalanche of books written about the First World War in recent years, there have been comparatively few books that have concentrated on delivering the big picture--a comprehensive account of the war and its campaigns from start to finish--and this book fills the gap superbly.
		The First World War is not afraid to point the finger at those generals who deserve it, but even Keegan has to admit he doesn't have all the answers.
		And that this is due to the great loss in the first meaning there are fewer to give their lives in the second is a chilling fact.

		This 1250-page tome (and even at this length it is just the first of a proposed three volumes), is a masterpiece, in part because it is especially rich with inclusions of German documents previously unknown to anglophone readers.
		The First World War In Africa is especially appealing since it illuminates a corner of the conflict too often under-reported in other general histories.

		I took a stroll round the place after tea and found it absolutely ruined a church at one end had been badly battered and the walls all smashed and the roof gone, one side of the tower standing only, but a noticeable fact was that a crufic [crucifix?] in a most conspicuous place remained untouched.
		This day was the first time I had been close to the enemy lines, and the first time I had got as far as a Support trench.
		This gradually got hotter and one mortar dropping on the parapet over us completely buried three of us, we were dug out and taken to the first aid Post and medically examined and found to be suffering from shock, we returned to the company next morning much better but a bit shaky.

		It ranked sixteenth among the world’s armies, just behind Portugal, and remained as a secretary of the Army had described it six years earlier, "a profoundly peaceful army." The U.S. Navy at the outbreak of the war was less emaciated, though its combatant vessels were mostly undermanned and less than ship-shape.
		As after World War I, so after World War II, the U.S. demobilized with the same furious energy in which we went to war — and we were caught in our bunks, as it were, when Korea exploded five years later.
