Taylor. The work chronicles the catastrophic four-year war from its explosive origins in 1914 to the uneasy armistice of 1918, detailing the key battles, political decisions, and human costs that reshaped the entire world order. Taylor's trademark wit and directness cut through the fog of myth and propaganda, arguing that the war was as much the product of blundering statesmanship as it was of grand strategic ambition. Richly supported by contemporary photographs, the text illustrates the stark, harrowing reality of trench warfare and industrial-scale slaughter with unflinching clarity. This is an essential and accessible account that remains as compelling and relevant today as when it was first published.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887995597019,"sku":"2026200009370-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/8db859f8-5a20-4adc-8709-8574de51d8b6.png?v=1781751891","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200009370-secondhand-the-first-world-war-an-illustrated-history","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
