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

'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.' - Times Higher Education Supplement
