The Great War and the Making of the Modern World (Paperback-2021)

Casting aside conventional narratives of The Great War, Jeremy Black returns to a vast range of original sources and investigates not only the key events of the war, but its consequences in restructuring the old order. Black also considers the struggle not only in its historical context, but also how it has been remembered and memorialised, especially as the generation who experienced it firsthand are passing away. Now in paperback, this book has been updated with a foreword and afterword to consider recent developments.

Jeremy Black is Professor of History at the University of Exeter, UK.
