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)
