Description

World War I was supposed to be "the war to end all wars", but it proved to be anything but. In 1914, the assassination of an archduke sparked a devastating conflict that lasted for four years and involved dozens of countries from around the world. The war saw the introduction of new technologies like planes and tanks, as well as deadly gases that left soldiers blinded or suffering from what was then known as "shell shock". The trenches where soldiers fought were often infested with rats, and battles could drag on for months without a clear outcome. Despite these challenges, the conflict ultimately claimed over 20 million lives. Nico Medina provides a clear and compelling account of this tragic event in his book, giving young readers a concise and informative understanding of one of history's most significant conflicts.
