The first title to be launched in the series, "An Incomplete History of World War I" takes the reader on an eccentric and exciting journey. Instead of providing a complicated and dense overview, it focuses on poignant events - extraordinary, heroic and obscure - ranging from little-known episodes in major Western Front battles to the valiant exploits of outlandish individuals on the remote frontiers of the conflict. It will help the reader not only understand the war's causes and effects but also to appreciate the profound and lasting ways in which it affected individual lives.

This enthralling collection of twenty-four stoies will amaze, entertain, shock and uplift. Eccentric haracters, feats of heroim and bizarre twists of fate-often overlooked by conventional histories, yet the very stuff of legends - come to life in a series of gripping narratives, written with the authority of a historian and the verve of a great storyteller. Whether you are a seasoned history buff or know little about World War 1, this is a richly satisfying account of a conflict that reshaped the world. The two bullets that mobilised 60 million soldiers, the gentleman's air war, the Anzacs who led the last great cavalry charge in history, the spontaneous Christmas truce of 1914 and the drinking binge that stopped Germany's last bid for victory . . .
