Designed as a companion to Garland's The United States in the First World War, this alphabetically-arranged encyclopedia provides some 600 detailed entries on such subjects as the causes of the conflict, major battles and campaigns, weapons systems, diplomatic efforts to stop the slaughter, the short- sighted and ultimately disastrous peace terms, and a host of other subjects including art and literature. Also provides essays on each of the countries involved in the conflict and biographies of important figures in the war, as well as some who were affected by it and would later play a crucial role in history, including de Gaulle, Hitler, Mussolini, and Stalin. Includes ample references and a subject index. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
