Beware Buzz-bombs
Or - who started it?
The phoney war
We shall fight them with forks - if we have to
In a black bag
And the cupboard was bare
What Great-Grandma did in the war
Hee hee and haw haw
Life on the other side
Can you keep a secret?
Well it is a world war!
Getting ready for the off
Not a nice place to be
And worse......
Well, someone must have
What was the point of it all?

| Summary/Abstract |
In 1914, a new kind of war, and a new kind of world, came about. What started as a grab for imperial riches became an industrialized bloodbath whose loot proved worthless. In this bold and surprising book, legendary historian Norman Stone distils a lifetime of writing, thinking and arguing to reframe the fundamental tragedy of the twentieth century.
