100 Days to Victory: How the Great War Was Fought & Won
by Saul David
On This Page
Description
Saul David's 100 DAYS TO VICTORY is a totally original, utterly engaging account of the Great War - the first book to tell the story of the 'war to end all wars' through the events of one hundred key days between 1914 and 1918. 100 DAYS TO VICTORY is a 360 degree portrait of a global conflict that stretched east from the shores of Britain to the marshes of Iraq, and south from the forests of Russia to the bush of German South East Africa. Throughout his gripping narrative we hear the voices show more of men and women both eminent and ordinary, some who were spectators on the Home Front, others - including Saul David's own family - who were deeply embroiled in epic battles that changed the world forever. 100 DAYS TO VICTORY is the work of a great historian and supreme story teller. Most importantly, it is also an enthralling tribute to a generation whose sacrifice should never be forgotten. show lessTags

Just to be clear here, the "100 days to victory" of the title are not the 'last 100 days', which is a favoured topic of many writers on the war. Instead this is a collection of 100 events during the war, across all fronts and across the entire duration of the conflict.
