Offering exhaustive coverage, detailed analyses, and the latest historical
interpretations of events, this expansive, five-volume encyclopedia is the most
comprehensive and detailed reference source on the First World War available
today.
One hundred years after the beginning of World War I in 1914, this conflict still stands
as perhaps the most important event of the 20th century. World War I toppled all of
the existing empires at the time, transformed the Middle East, and vaulted the United
States to becoming the world's leading economic power. Its effects were profound and
lasting—and included outcomes that led to World War II. This multivolume
encyclopedia provides a wide-ranging examination of World War I that covers all of the
important battles; key individuals, both civilian and military; weapons and
technologies; and diplomatic, social, political, cultural, military, and economic
developments.
Suitable as a reference tool for high school and undergraduate students as well as
faculty members and graduate-level researchers, World War I: The Definitive
Encyclopedia and Document Collection offers accessible, in-depth information and upto-date analyses in a format that lends itself to quick and easy use. The set comprises
alphabetically arranged, cross-referenced entries accompanied by further reading
selections as well as a comprehensive bibliography. A fifth volume provides
chronologically arranged documents and an A–Z index.
