The First World War was the overwhelming disaster from which everything else in the twentieth century stemmed. Fourteen million combatants died, a further twenty million were wounded and four empires were destroyed. The sheer complexity and scale of the war has encouraged historians to write books on a similar scale. But the author has achieved the almost impossible task of writing a terse, brilliantly written, opinionated and witty short history of the conflict.

An evocative portrait of the county during the First World War, the book reveals the huge turmoil caused by the war, including the mobilization of troops, the requisitioning of animals, the care of casualties, and the shortages of food. The author also describes how the Home Front also became the front line of enemy air raids with the first use of aerial bombing in a global conflict, and the effect of this on the population. The book reveals the effect on this rural county brought about by huge losses among its youth.
