BIBLIOGRAPHY AND READING LIST

The numerous authors quoted in the main text of this book have led me through the complicated issues that contributed to the events of the Great War. Each of them can help a reader new to this subject to gain a more detailed understanding of the issues involved. I recommend all of the authors and their books to those who wish to extend their knowledge and appreciation of the subject, each account is more worthy of attention than my contribution could hope to be.
