Title: 1914-1918 the Railway War
Description: Railways precipitated the Great War: they were the means by which war was waged, they defined how war was fought on the ground, they changed the character of warfare, they determined the length of the war and, ultimately they bore witness to its end. This illustrated companion is the tie-in to the popular BBC2 series fronted by Michael Portillo.
