Keegan chronicles the war's origins, its brutal campaigns across multiple fronts, and the political and strategic miscalculations that prolonged the slaughter to an almost incomprehensible scale. Written with the clarity and narrative power that made Keegan one of the most celebrated military historians of the twentieth century, the work illuminates not only the grand movements of armies but also the harrowing human experience of soldiers in the trenches. Drawing on decades of scholarship, it argues that the war was neither inevitable nor necessary, making its tragedy all the more profound. This is an essential and deeply humane account for anyone seeking to understand how industrialized warfare transformed civilization forever.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887901847771,"sku":"2026200007609-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/59fc6101-6bd7-47c0-a5c7-81ea711bb8ea.png?v=1781748492","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200007609-secondhand-the-first-world-war","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
