	Amazon.ca: The First World War - Volume 1: To Arms: Books: Hew Strachan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Strachan manages to cover political, economic, social, and military issues while revealing the lack of planning and preparation for war, especially the war aims of the different countries.
		Strachan also tends to skim over extremely important areas giving passing treatment to the crucial battle of the Marne and its intricacies preferring to explain it from the generals' views and focusing on the cooperation problems with Sir John French and the BEF with Foch, Joffre, and other French generals.
		Strachan makes the essential point that the labor demands of these campaigns were enormous and affected a large percentage of the population of Africa, justifying easily his extensive treatment of this topic.

	The Eisenhower Institute, Washington, D.C. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Deconstructing Europe’s sociopolitical makeup from the early twentieth century through the duration of the vast conflict, Strachan adroitly shows that it was already a “world war” before the United States entered the arena, and well before the Russian Revolution of 1917.
		Strachan also illuminates how the colonial territories of European nations (particularly in Africa) and of the Ottoman Empire were involved in the conflict, and how their presence legitimized the participation of both Britain and France.
		Hew Strachan is the Chichele Professor of the History of War and a Fellow of All Souls College at the University of Oxford.

		Armed with his acclaimed account of the first world war, historian Hew Strachan is stepping out of academia and into the front line as Channel 4 adapts his work for a new no-nonsense documentary on the conflict.
		HEW Strachan – it’s pronounced Strawn – is the quiet man among Britain’s TV historians.
		Strachan knew enough French and German to be able to draw on historical sources in those languages for his book but for the purposes of the programme – particularly when it came to film archives – more was needed.

	H-Net Review: Bryan Ganaway on The Outbreak of the First World War (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Strachan argues that the Austro-Hungarians were largely responsible for the war; that public opinion was important in sustaining the conflict but that political elites began it; and that intellectual responses to this cataclysm should not be confused with popular reactions.
		Strachan suggests the leaders of 1914 were not of the same caliber as their predecessors in the nineteenth century.
		Strachan had the opportunity to address contemporary theoretical issues dealing with imperialism and post-colonialism, but he appears to be entirely innocent of Edward Said, Homi Bhabha, Rashid Khalidi and Antoinette Burton.

	Amazon.co.uk: The First World War: A New History: Books: Hew Strachan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Hew Strachan is one of the world's foremost experts on the Great War of 1914-18.
		His ongoing three-volume history of the conflict, the first of which was published in 2001, is likely to become the standard academic reference work: Max Hastings called it 'one of the most impressive books of modern history in a generation', while Richard Holmes hailed it as a 'towering achievement'.
		The inspiration behind the major Channel 4 series of the same name, to which Hew was chief consultant, "The First World War" is a significant addition to the literature on this subject, taking as it does a uniquely global view of what is often misconceived as a prolonged skirmish on the Western Front.

	Pritzker Military Library
		Thursday, April 21st Hew Strachan visited the library to talk about his new book The First World War.
		Strachan strenuously avoids the traditional focus on the Western Front (and the British) and the conventional assumptions of generals' stupidity and soldiers' valor.
		The war as he sees it was a race among generals on all sides to create new weapons and tactics faster than their opponents, a race that the Triple Entente won.
