Description
David Stevenson's 1917: War, Peace, and Revolution offers a comprehensive examination of one pivotal year in the development of World War I. This book illuminates how the war was transformed in 1917, while also exploring what drove the conflict forward.
The author considers key decisions made during this year, including Germany's campaign of unrestricted submarine warfare, America's declaration of war, and Britain's adoption of the convoy system. Stevenson also analyses the global consequences of these developments, revealing how countries such as Brazil and China joined the belligerents, and how the Allies promised a Jewish national home in Palestine.
By examining the abdication of Tsar Nicholas II, the disastrous spring offensive, summer attacks on Russia, and the British decision for the ill-fated Third Battle of Ypres, Stevenson provides a truly international understanding of events. The failed attempts to end the war by negotiation further clarify the underlying forces that kept it going.
