World war one [hardcover][rare books]

These books, edited by RJ Unstead, who has also written two of them, are designed to give a colourful and informative introduction to four periods in world history.

The topics in each book are specially chosen to give an impression of the period, rather than an exhaustive account of every event.

With over 150 illustrations, each book combines lucid and interesting text with a wide variety of photo- graphs, maps, diagrams and paintings.

In addition, there is a 16-page reference section containing projects, a time chart, a biographical gallery, a literary supplement, and an index.

For readers who wish to do further research, there is a large reading list.
