Simon Heffer brings us the latest volume in his critically acclaimed history of modern Britain, Britain in the First World War.
Drawing heavily on original sources, he follows Britain’s path from the day the first fatal shots were fired at Sarajevo in June 1914 to the moment the guns finally fell silent on 11th November 1918. Looking at the impact the struggle had on politics, everyday life, and the culture of the country, he creates vivid portraits of the era’s key protagonists, presenting a rich and varied account of a period when Britain’s very existence seemed in question.
