Sinossi
"La guerra è diventata storia, e può quindi essere vista nella prospettiva della storia. In bene, essa ha reso più profondo in noi il senso di solidarietà umana e di comunanza di interessi, tanto all'interno delle nazioni quanto tra nazione e nazione. Ma essa - e non è altrettanto facile stabilire se si tratti di un bene o di un male - ha distrutto in noi la fede negli idoli, la tendenza al culto degli eroi, la convinzione che i grandi uomini siano fatti di una creta diversa da quella dei comuni mortali."

Well written book about the cause and effect of World War One.
For those looking for a (relatively) short military history of the First World War with a primary focus on the Western Front, B.H. Liddell Hart's "the Real War: 1914-1918" is a very fine overview of four gruesome years of war in mud, muck and misery. Hart hits upon theaters beyond the Western Front, Leggi tutto
Dating from a little over a decade from the end of the First World War (back when it was just "The World War"), this does a lot to help put certain episodes of the war into perspective and give a wider view of the entire course of the conflict. Better histories of the war or of incidents dealt with
I found this book incredibly insightful. It was written not long after the war and before the second world war and his concept behind what the future looked like in warfare was very accurate. I also found his analyis of some of the challenges of warfare in World War 1 very relevant to my own professi Leggi tutto
