This is a popular narrative history of the world's greatest war. Written frankly from the viewpoint of the United States and the Allies, it visualizes the bloodiest and most destructive conflict of all the ages from its remote causes to its glorious conclusion and beneficent results.
Two ideals have been before us in the preparation of this necessary work. These are simplicity and thoroughness. It is of no avail to describe the greatest of human events if the description is so confused that the reader loses interest. Thoroughness is an historical essential beyond price. So it is that official documents prepared in many instances upon the field of battle, and others taken from the files of the governments at war, are the basis of this work. All that has gone into war making, into the regeneration of the world, are herein set forth with historical particularity. The stark horrors of Belgium, the blighting terrors of chemical warfare, the governmental restrictions placed upon hundreds of millions of civilians, the war sacrifices falling upon all the civilized peoples of earth, are in these pages. (From the Forward) (23 hr 30 min)

The authors have done an exhausting review of the details of the Great War. They have accomplished a great feat in making a war history readable.
Thank You

Thank you Mary for your (as always) flawless reading of this and the many other works you have read for Livrivox. There has to be a special place in heaven for people like you who so unselfishly give of yourselves in time and energy works which will (or can) benefit us all. I don't want to brag about you too much for fear of offending those other volunteer readers who do the best they can in such a wonderful and beneficial mission. God bless you all.
Good Information, Good Reading

What is amazing is how Germany in Belgium and the atrocities committed, is as if reading about atrocities today by Russia in Ukraine. Where there is autocracy there is evil.
