Industry Reviews
"Like all Keegan's work, 'The First World War' is beautifully written and full of telling detail. It has its faults, but it is certainly the best overall account for the general reader that has appeared since that by Cyril Falls nearly forty years ago."
Times Literary Supplement - Michael Howard (11/13/1998)
"[Keegan's] tale remains gripping throughout....Keegan remains a master."
New Republic - Charles S. Maier (06/28/1999)
"John Keegan is a military historian, perhaps the best military historian of our day, and his new history of the war exemplifies his many strengths. [THE FIRST WORLD WAR] is elegantly written, clear, detailed and omniscient. As a narrative [THE FIRST WORLD WAR] is outstanding, telling the story of how the war began, how it was fought, why it was won by the Allies. Above all, Keegan conveys how it felt."
New York Times Book Review - Tony Judt (06/27/1999)
