Exactly what it is purported to be, a one hour history of World War I, it actually surpassed my expectations (although I will admit that it took me an hour and fifteen minutes to finish it).  I certainly did not anticipate this to be a definitive or detailed account of the war.  How could it be in so short a span of words or time?  Still, I was pleasantly surprised by its compact, highly readable text and flow.  The brief biographies at the end were an added bonus.  Rupert Colley certainly accomplished his goal.  For the more casual reader, this gives a great starting point.  For the more serious student, is a great adjunct reference in a concise little package.  Well done, Mr. Colley!  Well done.
