Over There

story continues below...

America has unfairly been criticised as being late in joining both world wars. The plain truth is, neither conflict was their war until it was pushed beyond its limit by enemy actions. This well-illustrated book charts the path to America entering WWI, and once entered into the fighting it showed the world what it could do very quickly in a short space of time. The authors cover each stage methodically from recruitment to trench warfare. The American serviceman on land, sea and air are all examined, along with the role of the women from nurses to telephonists.

America may have only been involved for 18-months, but they paid a huge price with over 50,000 killed and more than 200,000 wounded. At last here is a book which presents the history in time for the centenary of the country entering the war in 1917.
