1914: The Year the World Ended
by Paul Ham
Few years can justly be said to have transformed the earth: 1914 did.

In 1914: The Year the World Ended, award-winning historian Paul Ham tells the story of the outbreak of the Great War from German, British, French, Austria-Hungarian, Russian and Serbian perspectives. Along the way, he debunks more…
