Review title: A very well written narrative
Product review: I am about half way through this book, and it has one of the most well written narratives I have read in a general history of WWI (and I have read most of the standard ones). Since I have a map of Europe circa 1914 in my head, I haven't minded the lack of maps. In fact, the flow of my reading has likely been enhanced by my not flipping to a map every time a place name is mentioned, and the author does verbally described the topography where needed. The sidebars and short blurbs are also well-written. I have detected a couple of "typos", but nothing serious. An excellent introduction. I rate 4-stars only because of the lack of any maps, which a pure novice would need.
