Dive into the first volume of a comprehensive four-part history of the First World War, chronicling the tumultuous events from its onset in the summer of 1914 to the Neuve Chapelle campaign in March 1915.

This work, originally published in twenty-four volumes from February 1915 to July 1919, offers a unique perspective as it was crafted during the war itself. Beginning with the pivotal assassination of Archduke Francis Ferdinand, Buchan provides a rich backdrop of the political and social climates leading to the conflict. The narrative unfolds chronologically, detailing key battles and the escalating warfare that spread across the globe. With meticulous attention to the military capabilities of each nation involved, the geographical challenges of battlefields, and a vivid recounting of the fighting, this volume presents a formal yet engaging account from a patriotic British viewpoint.
