Customer Reviews

Good book!

My 13 year old son is a war history fanatic. This book does a great job showing the weapons and the major elements of this tragic war. He picks this book up all the time to look at the pics and to imagine what it would have been like to be a part of this conflict.

Great Book

I bought this for my 7 year old son. He loved it!!, He loves to read about all the different wars, and this series has everything. The pictures are great, and it gives alot of info. I highly recommend it, and all of the books in this series.

12 year old son loves it

My 12 year old son son loves all the DK eyewitness books. The pictures and information is extensive, and easy to understand.

Excellent reference!

This book really brought World War I to life. I was surprised at how little I really knew about this war. This may be billed as a kid's book, but people of all ages will enjoy it. It's a great source for learning a lot about the war in a short period of time. The entire Eyewitness series is worth checking out.
