First published in 1994, this book provides a comprehensive look at the Great War from its beginning in 1914 until its end four years later. I think it is a superb work of history.Martin Gilbert (1936-2015), a British historian and biographer is probably best known for his multi-volume official biography of Sir Winston Churchill. However, he also wrote many other excellent works of history, including “The Holocaust,” “The First World War,” and “The Second World War.” In all his works, Gilbert provides readers with a smooth, easy, and highly readable style.In “The First World War,” Gilbert provides wide-ranging coverage of nearly every front in this genuinely world-wide war. Most people today associate World War I with mud-caked soldiers bleeding in the trenches of the western front in France; however, there were many other fronts as well. Gilbert takes readers to eastern Europe, along the border between Germany and Russia, where there were scenes of savage combat. In the Balkans, a bitter war raged between Austria, the Ottoman Empire (Turkey), and Bulgaria on one side, and Serbia, Italy, Greece, and Britain on the other. At Gallipoli, Gilbert describes Britain’s failed attempt to break the stalemate on the western by attacking the Central Powers in the east. And back on the western front, he takes his readers into a starkly barren, cratered "no-man's land," where poison gas, colossal artillery bombardments, and massed infantry assaults were the order of each day.In every respect, “The First World War: The Complete History” is an outstanding book that will provide readers with a greater understanding of the causes, effects, and events World War I. Highly recommended. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive *by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2024* I didn’t know much about WW1 so I started here. Fascinating and informative. I didn’t know so many poets fought in the war. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book! *by A***L on Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2024* I loved the level of details of this book. Very pedagogical and easy to red. ## Frequently Bought Together - The First World War: A Complete History - The Second World War: A Complete History - The Guns of August: The Pulitzer Prize-Winning Classic About the Outbreak of World War I --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/9403102-the-first-world-war-second-edition-paperback-march-1-2004](https://www.desertcart.in/products/9403102-the-first-world-war-second-edition-paperback-march-1-2004) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-05-04*
