Editorial Reviews
Review
"The Western Front is by no means merely an account of the war in the West. In my opinion, it is the best introduction we now have to the history of the Great War altogether." - Ralph Raico, The Independent Review



Product Description
This study of World War I crosses the boundaries of national histories to examine the various connections between the 400-mile-long Western Front and the home fronts of the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Canada, Australia, the United States, and other participants. A thorough reexamination of the Great War has been underway since the 1970s and this book draws on enormously rich primary and secondary sources to synthesize a complex event, rethinking the patterns of war, society, culture, and governance in the early twentieth century.
