Publisher Description
'Without question one of the classics of post-war historical scholarship, Stone's boldly conceived and brilliantly executed book opened the eyes of a generation of young British historians raised on tales of the Western trenches to the crucial importance of the Eastern Front in the First World War' Niall Ferguson 'Scholarly, lucid, entertaining, based on a thorough knowledge of Austrian and Russian sources, it sharply revises traditional assumptions about the First World War.' Michael Howard
Customer Reviews
Interesting subject; poorly written and edited
The Eastern Front is often understudied (in English) and is very interesting. This book clumsily tries to fix that. It needs a serious editing and rewriting. Meandering chapters, typographical errors, long quotes in French (?), paragraphs overloaded with numbers, and poorly-designed graphics made what is a fascinating subject a chore to read.
