In this classic account, he dramatically details how the tides of despair and triumph flowed and ebbed as the political and military leaders of the time navigated the dangerous currents of world conflict.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eChurchill vividly recounts the major campaigns that shaped the war: the furious attacks of the Marne, the naval maneuvers off Jutland, Verdun's \"soul-stirring frenzy,\" and the surprising victory of Chemins des Dames. Here, too, he re-creates the dawn of modern warfare: the buzz of airplanes overhead, trench combat, artillery thunder, and the threat of chemical warfare. In Churchill's inimitable voice we hear how \"the war to end all wars\" instead gave birth to every war that would follow, including the current war in Iraq. Written with unprecedented flair and knowledge of the events, \u003ci\u003eThe World Crisis\u003c\/i\u003e remains the single greatest history of World War I, essential reading for anyone who wishes to understand the twentieth century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Winston Churchill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Free Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 880\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.3lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 1.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780743283434\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReissue Edition\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Free Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42709605908617,"sku":"9780743283434","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_f1144260-0521-4cf2-9003-9c7beeadd678.jpg?v=1719519698","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/the-world-crisis-1911-1918-9780743283434","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
