A Brief History of World War I: the Imperial Illusion

About This Novel
On the European continent, there has long been a confrontational relationship between France and Germany. Russia was growing in power, the Ottoman Empire was on the verge of disintegration, and the world outside of Europe seemed to be falling apart. Although Berlin was called the Athens of the world at that time, Germany was panicked by Russia's rapid development. Germany, which competed with Britain for global supremacy, established a completely unnecessary navy in the early 20th century that was directed at British ports. It was in this relationship between countries that the Sarajevo incident started the First World War. Europe in 1914 was like a colossus that everyone admired. Four years later, the continent faced catastrophic fragmentation from economy to society, from life to dreams. In this book, "A Brief History of World War I: The Illusion of Empire," Norman Stone changed the historical professional writing method that was mainly based on analysis to narrative. With novel and unique insights, he concisely and clearly outlines "World War I", the most important and complex topic of the twentieth century.

There were too few real famous generals in World War I. Nimitz, Guderian, Montgomery, Rommel who emerged in World War II, including Mannerheim in the early Soviet-Finnish War, etc. Are still deeply remembered.
