Pope, Stephen.

The dictionary of the First World War / by Stephen Pope and Elizabeth-Anne Wheal ; consultant editor, Keith Robbins ; with original maps by Brendan Eddison. - New York : St. Martin's Press, c1995. - xxviii, 561 p. : 25 maps ; 24 cm.

The book's comprehensive coverage of total warfare--the battles, commanders, weapons, tactics and strategies--is interwoven with analyses of the sweeping political, social and economic changes imposed on a world order in terminal convulsion. The dictionary of the First World War represents the perspective of a new generation of historians, looking at the War as a pan-European--and indeed global--conflict. Thus the book concentrates equally on the American, French, German, British, Italian, Russian, Turkish and Austro-Hungarian experiences--together with those of the many other participating peoples and nations. In all, there are some 1200 carefully cross-referenced entries, together with a detailed day-by-day chronology and a generous provision of specially commissioned maps.
