Review:

What new things could a student of the Great War like Neilos possible learn? Oh… so much. It is true that for years I have read and listened to all sorts of material on this conflict. And it is still as clear as trench-mud.

There was so much even leading up to August 1914 that it’s nearly impossible to keep it sorted out.

That being said, this book did the best jo I have seen in doing just that. It will also be an invaluable reference going forward in my studies.

Excellent index and bibliography, which is important but often overlooked.

This book made me want to: this review written February 6, 2023, the first time since November that I can print with any ability for any length. I’m really sore after doing this, but it’s a start.

Overall rating:

Other: Concise and readable factor
