The Deluge

The Great War and the Remaking of Global Order 1916-1931

In the depths of the Great War, with millions of dead and no imaginable end to the conflict, societies around the world began to buckle. A new global order was being born. Adam Tooze's panoramic book tells the radical story of the struggle for global mastery from the battles of the Western Front in 1916 to the Great Depression of the 1930s. The Deluge is both a brilliantly illuminating exploration of the past and an essential history for the present.

Bold and ambitious . . . probably the best of the current books about the First World War
