Saving for later - longer and more involved than I wanted at this time.

No need for a plot summary: this is an attempt to cover in 160 pages the entirety of World War I. Practically an impossible task, but I'd say the author did a decent job of it. I don't feel like anything major was entirely neglected, though it was necessarily very brief in parts. Personally, I would...
