Description: FREE SHIPPING UK WIDE The Eastern Front 1914-1917 by Norman Stone An account of the Russian Front in the First World War. It dispels the myths surrounding a still relatively little-known aspect of the war, showing how inefficiency rather than economic shortage led to Russias desperate privations and eventual retreat. FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Without question one of the classics of post-war historical scholarship, Stones boldly conceived and brilliantly executed book opened the eyes of a generation of young British historians raised on tales of the Western trenches to the crucial importance of the Eastern Front in the First World War Niall Ferguson Scholarly, lucid, entertaining, based on a thorough knowledge of Austrian and Russian sources, it sharply revises traditional assumptions about the First World War.
