With over 700 titles in print on the First World War and many more on the way throughout the next four years, Pen and Sword Books offer readers interested in the Great War unrivalled access to the subject and this book has been assembled to offer an exclusive introduction to some of our new titles.

This publication would not have been possible without the skill and dedication of John Grehan, Martin Mace, Richard Van Emden, David Martin, Jamie Vans, Peter Widdowson, Gary Sheffield, Nigel McCrery, Ann Kramer and David Bilton, whose works have appeared in this book.
