商品簡介
Black (history, U. of Essex, UK) goes beyond a historical narrative of World War I, but examines the primary questions of how and why it resulted in victory and defeat--and its impact on the restructuring of the old world order. The book places what its participants considered the "Great War" in the context of the times, and that perspective makes it easier to understand the changes the war brought to the world and the evolving perceptions of the conflict.
