Title: John Keegan's First World War
Product review: This is an excellent study of the First War. It is as good as any that I have read. Keegan as most British historians write with a fine command of English proseIn order to get the most out of this book one ought to have an atlas of Europe close at hand. Without maps it gets a little difficult when one is especially reading the portions about the Eastern Front,ie Tannenburg, the Carpathians etc.The need for good maps is not only true about this volumn but I find it necessary to follow,with maps, any history of war that I have read, including biographies of famous generals. The publishers are not overly generous with maps in their books. It really makes a great deal of difference to follow with maps.I used a West Point Atlas of the First World War. These Atlases have been available online.
