Nonfiction master Russell Freedman illuminates for young readers the complex and rarely discussed subject of World War I. The tangled relationships and alliances of many nations; the introduction of modern weaponry; and top-level military decisions that resulted in thousands upon thousands of casualties all contributed to the "great war;" which people hoped and believed would be the only conflict of its kind. In this clear and authoritative account; the Newbery Medal-winning author shows the ways in which the seeds of a second world war were sown in the first. Numerous archival photographs give the often disturbing subject matter a moving visual counterpart. Includes source notes; a bibliography; and an index.
