| Publisher Description: One of the greatest myths of World War Iis that it was a case of "lions led by donkeys," yet there were many strong and powerful leaders who shaped the war for better or worse and this accessible guide takes readers through each of these key figures from all of the major countries involved in the fighting. From Kitchener and his New Army to the Kaiser and theU.S. President, Peter Doyle explains why they were important and how the decisions they made influenced the outcome of the "war to end all wars." |
