This is the fourth of a four-volume history of the First World War, coming in during 1917, when Germany is reorganizing and Russia is about to fall. Buchan continues to give us a comprehensive war history that provides a clear understanding of the complexities that are involved without feeling bogged down. - Summary by Lynette Caulkins
