"'Reviews for his books on Battle of Poltava: 'The most outstanding brilliant military history I've ever read' (Telegraph) 'The best depiction of war I've ever read' (Simon Sebag Montefiore)"
Kurzbeschreibung
The Great War: four devastating years told by twenty eyewitnesses. There are many books on the First World War, but award-winning and bestselling historian Peter Englund takes a daring and stunning new approach. Describing the experiences of twenty ordinary people from around the world, all now unknown, he explores the everyday aspects of war: not only the tragedy and horror, but also the absurdity, monotony and even beauty. Two of these twenty will perish, two will become prisoners of war, two will become celebrated heroes and two others end up as physical wrecks. One of them go mad, another will never hear a shot fired. Following soldiers and sailors, nurses and government workers from Britain, Russia and Germany, and from Australia and South America - and in theatres of war often neglected by major histories on the period - Englund reconstructs their feelings, impressions, experiences and moods. This is a piece of anti-history: it brings this epoch-making event back to its smallest component, the individual.

If you read only one book on the First World War - it has to be this one!
19. April 2012
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This book is a classic - it was only published in 2011 but it will undoubtedly be regarded as a ground-breaking history. At over 500 pages it is still a page turner. I couldn't put it down. It tells the story of a number of participants in that horrifying war - combatants and non-combatants. It covers a broad geographic spread and it's great to hear voices from the Italian and Austro-Hungarian front (amongst others including east Africa and the Middle-east ) which are all too often ignored. It is chronologically based, and written in the present tense, which really brings the characters to life - all based on solid research using their own words. We follow the life (and in some cases death) of twenty individuals from 1914 through to 1918. As the subtitle states: 'An intimate history of the First World War' - that it truly is. As one Australian used to say.... 'Do yourself a favour and get a copy!'
