Dramatic, thought-provoking and intensely moving, this is the most authoritative photographic account of the First World War ever published. Historian Richard Holmes and an in-house team of research staff have immersed themselves in the Imperial War Museum's photographic archive to assemble a stunning 400-strong collection of photographs that represent every year of the First World War and every theatre of operations. Images from the leading photographers of the period are represented as well as pictures taken by soldiers and amateurs, many of them never before published.
