The Great War Vol 1 - Opening Moves

Rating:
Summary: The Great War by Wilson and Hammerton
Review: I would expect an American to give a biassed opinion of history- the first history of the civil war was written 4 years after the event. This book is definitive history in the making -12 volumes of it- and if it is propoganda, it is history to us who know so little about the causes and injustices of the times. You won't get anything more factual if you are able to read behind the hype.

Summary: Something old something new......
Review: If you are lookng for the definitive history of the First World War, keep lookng. This series of books are re-prints of Circa 1920 British home front popaganda. The photos though numerous have been reprinted using a cheap photo-static plate process which does not reproduce the quality of the original volumes. The dust jacket leeds one to beleive that the buyer is getting a moderen top quality book . Do not be fooled.
