Book Club edition hardback of FIRST WORLD WAR by Martin Gilbert and published by Book Club Associates/Weidenfeld & Nicolson in 1994. Signed, dated and located by Gilbert on the title page. There is no mention of it being a Book Club edition but the catalogue number: CN 9871 appears on the copyright page in place of the ISBN, which appears on the rear of the jacket. Uncommon signed.
The book is in near fine condition (black cloth boards with gilt lettering to spine) with just light bumping to one corner. The book is in a near fine unclipped dust jacket which is protected in an archival sleeve and has light creasing to edges. Internally the pages are clean and tight and there are no tears or other inscriptions.
Patriotism revealed its highest manifestations in the First World War. In every army, deeds of glory were engraved in the annals of each nation. Yet in the midst of valour and enthusiasm, the seeds of disillusion and despair found a fertile ground. Men turned against their officers. Soldiers turned against their governments. Cabinet Ministers struggled to retain the loyalty of the masses. Enormous war debts were incurred, war-making spilled into new and destructive courses: on land, at sea and in the air. Long-distance shells fell on Paris, bombs on London. Behind the scenes, each would-be victor listed the hoped-for spoils. Empires were carved up on paper long before they were dead. Amidst it all, as this book shows, idealism refused to die.
616 pages including Bibliography, Maps and Index. Illustrated with five sections of black & white photographs
ISBN (on the back of the jacket): 0297813129
