«The First World War» is the historical essay by Hew Strachan, published by Simon + Schuster Uk in paperback (384 pages, in English).
A work of history that approaches the First World War from a global perspective, without limiting itself to the Western Front. Strachan examines the theatres of the Balkans, Africa and the Ottoman Empire, analyses British participation as a defence of liberalism and shows how the conflict marked the subsequent 20th century.
The work originally appeared in 2003; this edition was published on 2 May 2006. The book inspired the Channel 4 documentary series, in which Hew Strachan participated as lead consultant.
Intended for the general reader interested in the history of the First World War and military history.
