The Great War: An Imperial History
Autor John H. Morrow Jr.en Limba Engleză Hardback – 6 oct 2003
By recounting the experiences of people from the colonies especially those brought into the war effort either as volunteers or through conscription, John Morrow's magisterial work also unveils the impact of the war in Asia, India and Africa.
From the origins of World War One to its bloody (and largely unknown) aftermath, The Great War is distinguished by its long chronological coverage, first person battle and home front accounts, its pan European and global emphasis and the integration of cultural considerations with political.

Recenzii
'Morrow is an excellent military historian who follows quite strictly the war's events on the various fronts, revealing the colonial effort in troops and economics.' - Prof. Annette Becker, The Times Educational Supplement
'[Morrow] penetrates the phenomenon of war as few have managed ... the sort of compassionate, original historian who gives you faith in the future.' - The Observer
'Lively, informative and based on a lifetime of reading ... Morrow's history will give readers reason to think about a wide range of issues: not least the possibility that, during and after the First World War, Europeans began to apply to one another the brutality they had formerly reserved for their African subjects.' - The Independent
'With a staggering wealth of reference, John H Morrow has produced a universal historical tapestry which weaves together the international threads that provide the woof and warp of the conflict that introduced and essentially shaped the most barbaric century in human history. Given his canvas, he writes with amazing clarity, never allowing the reader to feel that he is being sold short on this panoramic journey through four years when the world went mad.' - Morning Star
