Matthew Hughes believes editor John Horne is to be congratulated for editing such a disparate group of essays into a cohesive whole." (Reviews in History, 1 June 2011)"Horne is to be congratulated for editing such a disparate group of essays into a cohesive whole. His coverage of the non-European aspects to the war - pace David Killingray's chapter on the war in Africa - is not complete, but the presentation of the First World War as a conflagration that consumed most of Europe is excellent." (Institute for Historical Research, 1 June 2011)"Bottom line: required in all modern history reference collections." (CHOICE, January 2011)"This substantial and comprehensive work is an important contribution to the literature of a conflict central to the history of the modern world, but librarians should be aware that it is not a book for the reader who comes to the subject for the first time". (Reference Reviews, 1 December 2010)"In its scope, its detail and the quality of scholarship and writing, this book certainly fulfils the aims of the Blackwell Companions in presenting up-to-date research in a way that is accessible f o r both those studying the subject and those with a general interest . It will provide both with a useful resource, but is perhaps most effective as a resource used by students on courses dealing with the war or modern conflicts more broadly, providing potted histories o f important aspects of the Great War across the globe. The attention given to fronts other than France and Flanders, and nations other than those that fought there, is both laudable and effective, a useful corrective the Euro-centrism that often affects English-language works on the Great War."
