The Great War's East Africa campaign was, and remains, of huge importance. A 'small war', consisting of a few 'local affairs', was all that was expected in August 1914 as Britain moved to eliminate the threat to the high seas of German naval bases in Africa. But two weeks after the Armistice was signed in Europe, British and German troops were still fighting in Africa after four years of what one campaign historian described as 'a war of extermination and attrition without parallel in modern times'.

Lawrence in Arabia definitively overturns received wisdom on how the modern Middle East was formed.

La guerra del 1914-1918 fu il primo conflitto che coinvolse tutti i paesi d'Europa. Due possenti coalizioni, l'Intesa (Gran Bretagna, Francia e Russia) e gli imperi centrali (Germania e Austria-Ungheria), si misurarono in uno scontro tanto violento quanto logorante. In termini di costi economici e umani - nove milioni di morti - i quattro anni di combattimenti ebbero sulle potenze belligeranti un effetto disastroso.

A Primeira Guerra Mundial chegou ao Brasil pelo mar, quando navios mercantes brasileiros começaram a ser afundados por submarinos alemães, que desenvolviam uma campanha de bloqueio naval contra a navegação Aliada.

This is the human story of the Great War—told with compassion, clarity, and historical depth.

Only a man who had lived all his life in Suffolk could produce such a vivid and accurate portrayal of Akenfield and its inhabitants. Ronald Blythe recounts the personal recollections of, among others, the local school keeper, doctor, blacksmith, saddler, district nurse and magistrate as they discussed farming, education, welfare, class, religion and death. Originally published in 1969, Akenfield forms a unique document of a way of life that has, in many ways, disappeared.

As the First World War drew to a close and regimes began to collapse across Europe, British officials plotted a daring campaign to send an unlikely band of maverick soldiers, diplomats and spies to the chaotic region around the Caspian Sea. Their mission: to block the advance of the Turks, to hold back the rising Bolsheviks and prevent a Turkish-inspired jihad overwhelming India, and to secure the vital supply of oil from Baku.

The battle witnessed unprecedented devastation and human loss, with a staggering casualty count of more than one million soldiers.
