Description - Great Britain's Great War by Jeremy Paxman

The most vivid and complete history of Britain's WW1 on its 100th anniversary accompanied by a major BBC TV series

Life for the British during the First World War was not at all what you think...

Using a wealth of first-hand source material and his characteristic flair for story-telling, Jeremy Paxman brings to life the day-to-day experience of the British over the entire course of the war, from politicians, newspapermen, campaigners and Generals, to Tommies, factory-workers, nurses, wives and children, explaining why we fought it so enthusiastically, how we endured it so doggedly and how it transformed everything, such as women's suffrage, new surgery techniques, lower-class 'officer gentlemen', a powerful press, sexually transmitted diseases and British Summer Time.
