Great First World War Stories

When war broke out in August 1914 most people thought it would be over by Christmas. Instead, it dragged on for four years, left over 18 million dead and changed the nature of war forever. To mark the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of the First World War, we have reprinted over 40 stories by world-class authors who lived through the conflict. From the home front to the western front, in the trenches or behind enemy lines, on land or at sea, Great First World War Stories is a unique eyewitness insight into the 'war to end war'.
