The story of WWI, the men who fought it, the weapons they used and the great battles in which they fought is told vividly as the comfortable world of 1914 is shattered forever by the guns of August when the German armies blasted their way into Belgium and France.

In four terrible years, fearsome new weapons began to take their toll: poison gas, the submarine adn airplane, the Zeppelin and the tank.

Millions died. Russia dissolved into revolution. The Central Powers were vanquished and their holdings carved into new nations and colonies. The seeds of WWII were sown.
