"It all began with two deaths." So the narrative begins.I knew a little bit about WWI before I read this book, now I have a far better, and broader, understanding of it. Concise, in-depth, yet easy to follow and understand, this book is for anyone who wants/needs to learn about the war "to end war" without having to wade through huge tomes and political discourse.As befitting a book about war, Colley ends with the poignant moment that brought about the last death in the conflict. Even though this book is about "facts," it can still bring a tear to your eye.As a bonus, there is an appendix with a brief biography of key people.I would recommend this to writers of historical fiction. What a GREAT resource!
