1916 A GLOBAL HISTORY

(Subject: World War I - General) Covering the twelve months of 1916, the author uses twelve moments from several locations and shows how they reverberated around the world. As well as discussing better-known battles such as Gallipoli, Verdun and the Somme, he examines Dublin and the Easter Rising, East Africa, the Italian front, Central Asia and Russia, where the killing of Rasputin exposed the internal political weakness of the country's empire. In charting a wide range of wartime experience, he studies the 'intelligence war', naval engagements at Jutland as well as the political consequences that ensued from the momentous American presidential election.
