Description: :This book seeks to describe Britain?s experience in the war of 1914-18. In one sense its scope is limited. It sees the conflict from the standpoint of only one participating nation. So it pays meager attention to the achievements and travails of Britain?s allies. And it betrays little enthusiasm for the ambitions and doctrines of Germany?s ruling elite ?
