Achievement

Published to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of the Great European War in 1914, 'Achievement' is a guide to the war on which the future of Europe turned. Ian Hall examines the social, political and military circumstances of the previous 200 years, and considers the conditions that allowed one nation, Germany, to justify a war in continental Europe on a scale never before possible, sending more than 80 army divisions to invade its neighbours in what can be described as the first industrial war.
