The Great War - A Standard History of the All-Europe Conflict was a
weekly magazine in 272 parts which was later bound into 13 large
volumes .
"A standard history of the World-Wide Conflict, including
eye-witnesses' stories of striking incidents throughout the field of
operations".
The first part was published in August 1914, in a hurry to meet
demand, as the popular opinion was that the war would be over by
Christmas. Eventually the massive project went on to document the
entire War, not just in Europe but world-wide with articles and
coverage from Africa, Mesoppotamia, Palestine, Gallipoli, Persia,
China etc.
"The 272 parts of The Great War will remain the unrivalled record of
the most stupendous event in the history of humanity. Produced in
the years of storm and stress, and often under distracting
conditions, it will lack the poise and perspective of the cloistered
historian's work, to be written a generation hence far removed from
the passions and miseries of the events recorded; but it will at no
time, near or distant, stand in fear of any rival as a vivid and
fascinating pictorial record of the world-wide conflict".
This is a history of the War written as it unfolded, with hundreds
of maps, hundreds of full page engraving and thousands of
photographs. It covers in depth the land, sea and air conflicts from
all perspectives with considerable coverage of Empire Forces.
