About This Book

The author offers a broad history of the Great War, tracing the conflict's causes and diagnosing German militarism and imperialism as central forces opposed by democratic nations. He reviews strategic developments and allied leadership decisions while highlighting the contributions and bravery of Black Americans in army and navy service, noting the emergence of Black officers and units and the implications for civil rights. Illustrated plates and contemporary military essays supplement discussions of modern warfare's technologies and moral consequences, and the narrative closes with reflections and forecasts about the race's postwar status.
