'Morrow is an excellent military historian who follows quite
strictly the war's events on the various fronts, revealing the
colonial effort in troops and economics.' - Prof. Annette Becker,
The Times Educational Supplement
'[Morrow] penetrates the phenomenon of war as few have managed ...
the sort of compassionate, original historian who gives you faith
in the future.' - The Observer
'Lively, informative and based on a lifetime of reading ...
Morrow's history will give readers reason to think about a wide
range of issues: not least the possibility that, during and after
the First World War, Europeans began to apply to one another the
brutality they had formerly reserved for their African subjects.' -
The Independent
'With a staggering wealth of reference, John H Morrow has produced
a universal historical tapestry which weaves together the
international threads that provide the woof and warp of the
conflict that introduced and essentially shaped the most barbaric
century in human history. Given his canvas, he writes with amazing
clarity, never allowing the reader to feel that he is being sold
short on this panoramic journey through four years when the world
went mad.' - Morning Star
