Summary	"The First World War, or Great War, remains the fundamental tragedy that still haunts us all nearly a century after its outbreak. It was a war that baffled those who fought it: what was meant to be a grab for imperial loot or a lightning settling of scores turned into an unwinnable nightmare with millions of men trapped and killed by hideous technologies." "Ultimately almost all the principal states engaged in the war were ruined, with even the notional winners irreparably damaged: the imperial loot proved worthless and the world was doomed to a further, even more terrible settling of scores only twenty years later."--BOOK JACKET.
