incomplete and repetitive
I found this book to be far too focused on the Western front, nothing said about the Macedonian front, little about the battles in the east, nothing about the battles in the Caucasus or the Middle East.
I was being told ad nauseam what I already knew from other reading. there was nothing said about battles concerning the Americans or the Canadians. this book is effectively saying that nothing really mattered in world war I except the sufferings of the French and the English, and therefore nothing else needed telling.
it is fortunate that I got this book with a credit, and not with actual money. in any case, the book was badly laid out and full of redundancies and repetitions of how much everyone concerned had suffered and had lost - but again, other facets of the war, other theaters, were ignored. Gallipoli was not mentioned, nor the battle for the Dardanelles.
I plan never to read a book on world war I again lest I be bombarded on how much was lost in the West, and told very little or nothing about how things were in areas that were just as important.
shame on the author for wasting my time. :-(
