WITNESS TO HISTORY WORLD WAR 1

THIS SERIES USES A VARIETY OF SOURCES TO GIVE AN INSIGHT INTO A PARTICULAR PERIOD.

AN INITIAL SECTION INTRODUCES THE PERIOD AND THE SOURCES AVAILABLE. AN EXTENDED QUOTATION FOR THE SOURCE IS ON ONE PAGE, FACING A COMMENTARY GIVING THE HISTORICAL BACKGROUND. THE RELIABILITY OF THE SOURCES IS CONSIDERED.
