In this lavishly illustrated military history, Anthony Livesey examines the major campaigns and battles that shaped the course of the First World War, presenting a clear and dramatic account of the conflict's most decisive engagements. Covering actions on the Western Front and beyond, the book explores famous battles such as Mons, Tannenberg, Gallipoli, Verdun, the Somme, Passchendaele and the Meuse-Argonne offensive, explaining the strategies, commanders, weapons and tactical developments that defined modern industrial warfare. Enhanced by hundreds of photographs, maps, diagrams and detailed reconstructions, the volume brings complex military operations vividly to life while placing them within the wider context of the war. Designed as both a visual reference work and an accessible narrative history, Great Battles of World War I offers a comprehensive overview of the campaigns, personalities and turning points that determined the outcome of the Great War, making it an engaging introduction for general readers and military history enthusiasts alike. More than 200 illustrations accompany the text, and the book surveys over twenty of the conflict's key campaigns and battles.
