books about: 1914-1918     books:       THE GERMAN SOLDIER 1914-1918 (Great War (Unnumbered))1 review Jean-Claude Laparra Histoire and Collections, 2008 The German Infantryman 1914-1918 The German Infantryman by Jean-Claude Laparra and Pascal Hesse, ISBN 978-2-35250-071-1. It is a fair to good reference for the subject, particularly for weapons and equipment, not so much for uniforms. It's a short book - 66 pages, but full of photos and illustrations. I didn't care for the semi-biographical story line of Michael - just my opinion - that might be the very thing you are looking ...             The Ottoman Army 1914 - 1918: Disease and Death on the Battlefield (Utah Series in Turkish and Islamic Stud)1 review Hikmet Ozdemir University of Utah Press, 2008 splendid factor that must be taken into consideration: epidemics at war "Many of the war stories are depressingly familiar though most of the people think that ``The deads are killed by clashes'', in reality, it is the epidemics. This is an engrossing, unique and authentic book in its area of history and it reserves attention as the most through exploration to the date of the pandemic's significance in Ottoman History. Ýf you are interested in war history, you ...             Enduring the Great War: Combat, Morale and Collapse in the German and British Armies, 1914-1918 (Cambridge ... Alexander Watson Cambridge University Press, 2008 An innovative comparative history of how German and British soldiers endured the horror of the First World War. Unlike existing literature, which emphasises the strength of societies or military institutions, this study argues that at the heart of armies' robustness lay natural human resilience. Drawing widely on contemporary letters and diaries of British and German soldiers, psychiatric reports and official documentation, and interpreting ...             Great War, 1914-1918 (Routledge Classics)1 review Marc Ferro Routledge, 2001 Seen Its Day Originally translated from the French, in 1973 this title has since ceased to be the definative work that it once was. In the last 30 years a lot has been published on WWI. However, it still can add material to those interested in a cursory review of the war from the French (Western Front) perspective. Which is also, one of the books great flaws. (Naval and particularly American ...             British artillery weapons and ammunition, 1914-19181 review Ian V Hogg Allan, 1972 Definitive work on subject This has been the best source on British First World War artillery since it was published. It includes an exhaustive listing of guns, ammunition and fuzes as well as a good selection of photographs and drawings of each of the weapons and most of the carriages. Highly recommended if a copy can be optained.             Army, Industry and Labour in Germany, 1914-1918 (Legacy of the Great War)1 review Gerald D. Feldman Berg Publishers, 2004 The title is accurate Gerald D. Feldman examined the dynamic triangular relationship of the German army, industry, and labor during the World War I period. The social and economic conditions of Germany during the time period beginning in 1914 and ending in 1918 are elucidated through this extensive study. Feldman has the advantage of the extensive West German archives, American libraries, and hindsight to explain ...             The Art of Staying Neutral: The Netherlands in the First World War, 1914-1918 Maartje Abbenhuis Amsterdam University Press, 2006 An insightful account of the challenges of neutrality in an era of total war, The Art of Staying Neutral shows how the Netherlands remained peaceful throughout World War I. This sustained neutrality, Maartje Abbenhuis demonstrates, was the result of many factors, including masterly diplomacy, careful adherence to international laws and a decisive measure of good fortune. Neutrality, however, did not come without considerable costs to the ...             Victory Must Be Ours: Germany in the Great War, 1914-19181 review Laurence Moyer Trans-Atlantic Publications, 1995 Excellent social history of Germany during WWI This is an excellent history of Germany during World War I, with particular emphasis on the social history of the people, especially the middle classes. The treatment goes beyond merely and the diplomatic and military history of the war             Without Warning: Ellen's Story, 1914-19181 review Dennis Hamley Candlewick, 2007 Great Read I absolutely loved this book. Problems that the war creates for Ellen's family inspire her to go off and fulfill her dreams. Ellen is not afraid to express her feelings about things. She stands up for what she believes in and that is why I find this book so intriguing. It contains a little bit of everything; some romance,drama,suspense. Some parts were a bit slow, but they quickly gained ...             German Air Forces 1914-18 (Elite)2 reviews Ian Sumner Osprey Publishing, 2005 A GREAT REFERENCE BOOK TO HAVE! I recently purchased this book and was amazed at the wealth of information it contained about the German air force of World War One. This book helped me to gain a better perspective on the air force's organization and various branchs within. I have read many books on aircraft and aces from the Osprey series but they do not go into deep detail about training organizations, ground support units, ...             The First World War, Vol. 1: The Eastern Front 1914-1918 (Essential Histories)6 reviews Geoffrey Jukes Routledge, 2003 The Unabashed English View of the War - Part One Peter Simkins, a former senior historian at the Imperial War Museum, provides an excellent summary of the First World War on the Western Front in Osprey's two volume Essential Histories series. Simkins brings his vast knowledge of the subject to bear and delivers a tight narrative that hits all the highlights of the war on this front; overall, this is an excellent summary. Unfortunately, Simkins ...             The 88th Division In The World War Of 1914-1918 William Weigel Kessinger Publishing, LLC, 2007 This scarce antiquarian book is included in our special Legacy Reprint Series.

Students of history or especially international relations studying the relevant subject may find it interesting. But it is not all too inclusive. I personally find its chapters about Turco-Armenian relations rather biased. These parts of the book are more like a propoganda for the Armenian cause. What makes ...             The War the Infantry Knew 1914-1919 Captain J.C. Dunn Little, Brown Book Group, 1988 The War the Infantry Knew 1914-1919 is a remarkably coherent narrative, in diary form, of an infantry battalion's experience on the Western Front. A moving, truthful historical record, it deserves to be added to the select list of outstanding accounts of the First World War.             All the Kaiser's Men: The Life and Death of the German Army on the Western Front 1914-19187 reviews Ian Passingham The History Press, 2005 An excellent book that plugs a gap Other reviewers have done a very good job of summarising the book, so I will not attempt it here. I will just add some of my own comments. This book is invaluable in plugging a gap in the story of the First World War that was being told over the past decades. In recent years, a movement has arisen that attempted to address (or revise, depending on your perspective) the many myths concerning ...              search for books 1914-18, 1914-1918, 1914-1919, ammunition, artillery, battlefield, cambridge, classics, collapse, disease, division, eastern, enduring, essential, germany, histories, industry, infantry, military, netherlands, neutral, ottoman, routledge, soldier, staying, unnumbered, victory, weapons, western, without books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
