The Routledge Atlas of the First World War: The Complete History (Routledge Historical Atlases)
Editorial Reviews
Review
Every map, with its accompanying notes, is almost a chapter of history in itself....General readers as well as history students will value the atlas for its meticulously detailed information.
-Times Educational Supplement
This volume of maps of the 'war to end all wars' will be appreciated by students, historians, journalists, and others. The remarkable clarity of the maps; the detail of many maps of the trenches and battle lines around such hard-fought places as Ypres, Verdun, or Lys; and those maps treating broader issues, such as shipping losses worldwide or proposed U.S. mandates in what is now Turkey--all these add up to a useful, inexpensive, easy-to-read atlas of World War I.

Book Description
This atlas offers a definitive visual history of World War I. In 164 finely detailed, easy-to-read maps, it covers the origins of the war, the quarrels of the great European powers and the mobilization of 1914, plus the major battles and all the individual campaigns including the war at sea and in the air--putting them in the wider context of strategy. Beyond its thorough and precise military coverage, the atlas also explores the diplomatic, economic, and social aspects of the conflict. Many of the maps--such as a map of German food riots in 1916, a state-by-state map of opposition to the war in the United States in April, 1917--have put together normally scattered and diverse information with exceptional clarity.
