  The catastrophe which overtook Europe from 1914 to 1918 was a conflict so terrible and so gigantic that it is referred to simply as The Great War . In this text, Corelli Barnett traces the history of the war from its origins in a Europe wracked with political and ethnic tensions, through the years of bitter struggle, appalling losses and destruction on a titanic scale, to its bitter end in the fatally-flawed armistice of 11th November 1918.
