| Publisher Description: "Thrilling Stories of the Great War" is an account of some of the most notable and unbelievable events and battles of the First World War on land, sea, and in the air. World War I was a global war that started in Europe that lasted from 1914 to 1918. It was one of the largest wars in history where modern equipment and technology such as the telephone, wireless communication, armoured cars, tanks, and aircraft were used for the first time in war with devastating results. This volume is highly recommended for those with an interest in The Great War and world military history in general. Contents include: "Storming the Messines Ridge", "Turning Back the Huns at the Somme", "The New Fighting Monsters: The British Tanks", "Earl Kitchener Dies a Hero's Death", "Over the Top at Vimy Ridge", "The World's Greatest Naval Battle", "Britain's Navy Saves Civilisation", "Verdun: The Greatest Battle in History", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork. |
