Good listen
Interesting overview of WW1 . I was looking for an informative book, which didn’t get too bogged down in details, on a subject which I knew very little about, and found it here.

Amazing Audio-book!!
An amazing audio-book with great narration, everything you need to know about the Great War explained in amazing detail. So good I’ve now bought the WW2 for dummies book. Highly recommend this if you have a zero to medium amount of knowledge on the subject

Excellent book
I had a reasonable knowledge of the great war before I listened to this book, but I have still learnt much from this great book.It does not just cover the western front but other theaters also.
It covers in general terms the whole war and I am very impressed with it.
The narrator did a very good job also.

Nothing really stood out
Dry disjointed tended to drift off and narrating was quite poor would have been much better if it was more chronological
