No one wanted this war to begin, but through a confluence of circumstances that may seem random, it was inevitable. The participants in the conflict believed that the war would not last long and would end in complete victory by Christmas 1914, but the armistice was not signed until more than four years later, in November 1918. World War I led to untold suffering and sacrifice on the front lines and on the home front, to epidemics, genocide, the collapse of great empires and revolutions. It changed the fate of the world and redrew its maps. Many hoped that this war, called the Great War, would be the last in history, but it turned out to be the forerunner of the even more devastating World War II. World-renowned British historian Sir Martin Gilbert has written a comprehensive history of the First World War, based on documentary sources, established facts and eyewitness accounts, and has managed to convincingly reveal its causes and outline its consequences. He has succeeded in showing the human cost of a war that claimed and maimed millions of lives through the stories of individual participants, including both heroes and deserters.
