"Students of military history love to argue, and John Mosier gives them much to argue about. From armaments and tactics to strategy and politics, he challenges conventional wisdom and forces a rethinking of the war that inaugurated the modern era." - H.W. Brands, author of The First American and TR: The Last Romantic "Ther is much in this book I really admire, not least its brilliant recasting of the traditional military narrative." - Niall Ferguson, author of The Pity of War "A compelling and novel reassessment of World War I military history."- - Kirkus Reviews "Packed with evidence, much of it ingeniously obtained and argued." - Washington Post
