The Meaning of the First World War by Rene Albrecht-Carrie

Paperback. Condition: Good. 1965. Prentice Hall.

The Meaning of the First World War provides a concise narrative of the war itself and of hte era it brought to a conflict, René Alrecht-Carrié argues that the war upset the delicate equilibrium of European power and tore the fabric of European society with such a force that no treaty, however equitable, could by itself have averted the crises that followed. With a masterful grasp of the issues underlying the war. Albrecht-Carrié skillfully unravels the tangle of political alliances and military battles to reveal in what ways World War I laid the groundwork for our century of tension and transition.
