The First World War and its aftermath witnessed a global revolution.

This was reflected in the revolutionary war aims of most of the belligerents, the technological revolution that made the war so deadly, the revolutionary sentiment that grew among ordinary combatants, and the revolutionary pressures that led to the collapse of the Romanov, Habsburg, and Ottoman empires.

In this revised edition of World War One, Lawrence Sondhaus synthesises the latest scholarship on the war and incorporates insights from the vast body of work published during the war's centenary. He charts the political, economic, social and cultural history of the war at home and on the frontlines as well as the war's origins, ending and transformative effects on societal norms and attitudes, gender and labour relations, and international trade and finance.

The accessible narrative is supported by chronologies, personal accounts, guides to key controversies and debates, and numerous maps and photographs.

Industry Reviews

'The book is beautifully produced and presented ... Maps and illustrations are expertly annotated and placed where they belong in the book. Cambridge [University Press] can be well proud of this superb book. It deserves to be widely used on college courses on the Great War.' Holger Herwig, Journal of Military History
'Comparative histories of the First World War are still rare, which in itself makes Lawrence Sondhaus' foray into this field welcome.' John Gooch, European History Quarterly
'... this survey of the Great War is masterful.' James D. Scudieri, Parameters: The US Army War College Quarterly
'Sondhaus has packed a lot into his pages, and his text deserves a prominent place on reading lists for First World War and general twentieth-century history courses.' William Philpott, Diplomacy & Statecraft
'An excellent political and strategic overview of World War I ... has given us a very broad look at the origins, events, and consequences of the war, setting it more firmly into its global context than has hitherto been the case. [Sondhaus'] approach to presenting the story of the war is rather innovative and very valuable.' A. A. Nofi, strategypage.com
