An hour well spent
Excellent overview of key issues providing context to the conflict. We listened to this before visiting First World War sites in Belgium.

A worthwhile listen.
An amazing short look at a long and horrific, but still very interesting time in human history.

Concise History of The Great War
Is informative and insightful narrative to the events of this truly epic/horrific event in our past that shouldn't ever be forgotten. We all think we know about the these events but we all learn something new from the event leading up to 1914 . So this is a great and interesting narrative and eye opening in parts.

super informative
A great audiobook for those needing to get a basic but far reaching grasp of WW1 battles and politics.
By no means a complete history but a perfect starter with lots of vital information.

World War 1 in an hour
Very good book i enjoyed it very much, to have all the important information about how and why it broke out was good and if I had a younger child who was doing a essay on WW1 I would use the book as a reference
