Description
The World's War: Forgotten Soldiers of Empire David Olusoga's groundbreaking book reframes our understanding of the Great War, revealing a complex and often shocking narrative of racial obsessions that shaped the conflict. This sweeping history explores the experiences of four million non-European, non-white people whose stories have remained in the shadows. Through meticulous research and beautiful writing, Olusoga exposes the multifaceted nature of the war, which was fought not just in Europe, but also in Africa and Asia. He sheds light on the intricate web of racial obsessions that dictated which men would serve, how they would serve, and to what degree they would suffer. A powerful and moving account, The World's War is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in understanding the full scope of the Great War and its lasting impact on the world.
