London: Routledge, 2004. This First Edition is in Fine condition with a Fine price-unclipped dust jacket. The dust jacket shows only very light shelf wear. I've placed the dust jacket into an archival Brodart protective sleeve. The book is bound in black paper-covered boards with die-stamped gilt spine titles. This monumental new work on World War I places it in the context of imperialism, showing how the desire for empire among the world's leading nations sparked the various conflicts leading to this war, determined the war's boundaries, and even govered its course and outcome. As one reviewer states, "Its diplomatic, political, and social comprehensiveness dazzles." The book includes photo inserts, Notes, Bibliography, and Index. The book measures 6 3/8 by 9 3/8 inches and includes 352 pages.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
