Description
The First World War was a watershed in global history.
Both terrible and terrifying, it shredded the social order and ushered in a bleak new world.
Inevitably, the war led to major advances in military strategy and tactics that were reflected in the weapons used on the battlefield.
This book offers an extended introduction to the arms and armour of the Great War, with particular focus on iconic weapons such as the Maxim machine gun.
It is a unique insight into the material culture that not only enabled the horrors of the Somme, Passchendaele and Gallipoli but also provided the means to bring peace in 1918.
