About this listen
Love history? Know your stuff with History in an Hour.
World War One brought with it the world’s first experience of Total War, involving all of the world’s great powers, polarized between the Triple Entente, lead by Britain, France and Russia, and the Central Powers, dominated by Germany and Austria-Hungary. Around 9 million men lost their lives in a conflict that introduced the horrors of trench warfare, machine guns and toxic gas attacks.
WORLD WAR ONE: HISTORY IN AN HOUR gives you a clear overview of the road to war, the major turning points and battles, and the key leaders involved, as well as the lasting impact the Great War had on almost every country in the world. WORLD WAR ONE: HISTORY IN AN HOUR is essential reading for all history lovers.

Exam Saver
Helped me study for a major exam. Great narration and described well.
The climatic ending also made me laugh. Well chosen quote to bridge to the next audiobooks.

Short and sharp overview
Enjoyable listen. Very short and leaves out much detail, but serves as an excellent short overview of a worldwide conflict.

Too much info
Short books such as this tend to be hit and miss. Particularly when there is too much information to include. Rather than providing a summery of WW1, the author attempts to cram everything into the hour.
The performance is fine but sometimes rushed.
