A landmark work of military and social history, The Great War 1914–1918 presents a sweeping and authoritative account of the First World War through the lens of French historian Marc Ferro. Drawing on a rich array of sources, Ferro argues that the war was not merely a clash of armies but a total societal upheaval that reshaped nations, economies, and political orders across the globe. The narrative chronicles the catastrophic four-year conflict from its volatile origins to the uneasy armistice of 1918, illuminating the experiences of soldiers, civilians, and statesmen alike. Written with the analytical rigour of a seasoned scholar yet accessible to general readers, the work illustrates how the pressures of industrialised warfare fundamentally transformed the modern world. A essential read for anyone seeking to understand the causes, conduct, and consequences of the conflict that defined the twentieth century.
