The Great War Illustrated - 1917

The fourth volume of this pictorial WWI history captures the harrowing events of 1917—from the Battle of Arras to the Capture of Jerusalem.

The Great War Illustrated series presents a vivid chronicle of the First World War in photographs, with a separate volume dedicated to each year of the conflict. Richly furnished with archival images, many of which have rarely been seen before, each installment brings readers into the drama and devastation of combat. The photographs are all numbered, captioned, and supported by informative text.


The Great War Illustrated–1917 contains 1,000 images, with a middle section in full color. It covers the battles at Arras, Passchendaele, and Cambrai, as well as the use of aviation, submarines, and the role of the tanks.
