A World Undone: The Story of the Great War, 1914 to 1918 by G.J. Meyer

4.0

In the summer of 2014, as articles in the newspaper began to reflect on the 100th anniversary of the Great War, I recognized how little I understood about it. So far, A World Undone has been the best book I have read on the subject. It is a brilliant and informative review of the great war. I was repeatedly shocked and alarmed by the "Background" sections that were interspersed between the chapters. I highly recommend it as a general introduction.
