The Story of the First World War for Children (1914-1918) : In association with the Imperial War Museum

The First World War was the world’s first ‘total war’. Although large-scale wars like the Napoleonic wars had ranged across many territories, the scale of World War I was unprecedented. It was also the first war between modern, industrialised nations, and mechanised warfare saw new and terrifying weapons deployed for the first time, including aeroplanes, tanks, zeppelins, giant warships and poison gas.

Marking the centenary of the end of the conflict, The Story of the First World War for Children is a fact-packed information book that relates the unfolding events and the human stories in a way that brings history vividly to life.
