The moments that it took Gavrilo Princip to step forward to the stalled car and shoot dead Franz Ferdinand and his wife were perhaps the most fateful of the modern era. An act of terrorism of staggering efficiency, it fulfilled its every aim: it would liberate Bosnia from Habsburg rule, and it created a powerful new Serbia, but it also brought down four great empires, killed millions of men and destroyed a civilization. What made a seemingly prosperous and complacent Europe so vulnerable to the impact of this assassination?

In the summer of 1914 most of Europe plunged into a war so catastrophic that it unhinged the continent's politics and beliefs in a way that took generations to recover from. The disaster terrified its survivors, shocked that a civilization that had blandly assumed itself to be a model for the rest of the world had collapsed into a chaotic savagery beyond any comparison.

Alla Grande Guerra si guarda oggi da una nuova prospettiva che privilegia la storia culturale e sociale. A tale approccio originale guarda questo libro per raccontare l'esperienza italiana nel contesto dell'apocalisse globale del 1914-18. Facendo ricorso a un ventaglio vastissimo di fonti, dagli archivi ufficiali alle fotografie private, dalla memorialistica alle cartoline illustrate, il volume mette a fuoco tre aspetti essenziali della guerra italiana: l'attesa del conflitto e la mobilitazione prima del 1915.

In questa nuova edizione il volume, fortemente innovativo per tesi, documentazione e metodo, ha segnato uno spartiacque negli studi sulla prima guerra mondiale. Le riviste dell'età della "Voce", i fogli interventisti, i diari di trincea e la letteratura sulla guerra: rileggendo questa sterminata produzione Isnenghi ha ricostruito l'atteggiamento di una intera generazione di intellettuali italiani nei confronti dell'intervento e poi dell'esperienza bellica.

La Primera Guerra Mundial, también conocida como la Gran Guerra, hace honor a su apelativo. De 1914 a 1918, el mundo se sobrecogió ante una contienda en la que se vieron implicadas las principales potencias de la época y en la que, por primera vez en la historia, no hubo límites geográficos para los campos de batalla. Cuando se ha cumplido el primer centenario de su final, el escritor José Luis Hernández Garvi nos ofrece en Eso no estaba en mi libro de la Primera Guerra Mundial un ensayo histórico, fruto de una exhaustiva investigación.

Questa solida sintesi della Grande Guerra è frutto del lavoro di due storici diversi ma affini: l'uno, Rochat, esperto della dimensione prettamente militare; l'altro, Isnenghi, versato nella storia della cultura e degli intellettuali. Il volume intreccia così felicemente due filoni di studio per raccontare vicende politiche e culturali ma anche operazioni militari, ideologie e sogni ma anche cifre e fatti: il racconto stringente di come la guerra fu voluta e non voluta, condotta e contestata, maledetta e ricordata, di quale ruolo vi giocarono le forze politiche.

Una nueva visión de la guerra que asoló el mundo en los albores del S. XX basada en una combinación de historia bélica e historia humana. La mayoría de los libros que tratan el tema de la Primera Guerra Mundial, lo hacen incidiendo en los avatares bélicos de la llamada Gran Guerra, una contienda de la que se dijo que acabaría con todas las guerras. La novedad de este audio libro que nos trae Álvaro Lozano es que presenta la guerra desde una perspectiva total, remontándose a los factores previos a 1914 que facilitaron el enfrentamiento....

The October Revolution happened in November 1917. Later Soviet propaganda 'proved' it was 'the will of the people', but few know that the brutal rebellion, which killed millions and raised Lenin's numerically tiny Bolshevik Party to power, was made possible by massive injections of German money laundered through a Swedish bank and a shady arms dealer who had made a fortune in the Balkan wars.

August 1914: In the sweltering heat, the fate of Europe hangs in the balance. Germany is hurling her forces into a carefully planned invasion of Belgium and France. Bound by an 1839 treaty to protect Belgium from any invader, Britain came to its defence. With the British Expeditionary Force numbering just 120,000 men, and dwarfed by the vast manpower of Germany, Kaiser Wilhelm II remains unfazed by this ‘contemptible little army'. But the BEF was, man for man, the best trained army in Europe.

Drawing upon evidence from archives across the world, Veiled Warriors offers a compelling account of nurses' wartime experiences and a clear appraisal of their work and its contribution to the allied cause between 1914 and 1918, on both the Western and the Eastern Fronts. Nurses believed they were involved in a multi-layered battle. Primarily, they were fighting for the lives of their patients on the "second battlefield" of casualty clearing stations, transports, and military hospitals.

The Sojourn is the story of Jozef Vinich, who was uprooted from a 19th-century mining town in Colorado by a family tragedy and returns with his father to an impoverished shepherd’s life in rural Austria-Hungary. When World War One comes, Jozef joins his adopted brother as a sharpshooter in the Kaiser’s army, surviving a perilous trek across the frozen Italian Alps and capture by a victorious enemy. A stirring tale of brotherhood, coming-of-age, and survival, this novel evokes a time when Czechs, Slovaks, Austrians, and Germans fought on the same side while divided by language, ethnicity, and social class.

Two weeks before the U.S. entered World War I, a Chicago advertising executive visited the Department of Justice with a proposal - organize the country’s businessmen into a secret force of volunteer agents to ferret out and investigate enemy activities within the United States. The country, overcome by a wave of patriotic fervor, had also become gripped with fear and uncertainty of the influx of immigrants from the very countries with which the country was now at war.
