World War 1

by Kathlyn Gay, Martin Gay

Each book in this series covers a significant war in Unites States history, describing the reasons behind the war, the action, and its effect on the country.
But the true picture of a war goes beyond dates and descriptions of battles, campaigns, and weapons. Most of all, war involves people-from military and political leaders to the ordinary people in the fight or on the home front.
Voices from the Past weaves in the accounts-the voices-of those who were there, describing what it felt like to be a part of war. Focus on their stories brings a very personal view to a major conflicts in our history.

World war 1 by kathlyn gay and martin gay. There was 35,000 to 60,000 veterans are still living from world war 1. Terrified drove into the train depot. Austria- Hungary believed that Serbian planned to attack them. World war 1 ended all wars. Two members of red cross came into the trench and discovered the soldiers in a terrible state of fear over their incompetence over their friends. All of the wars ended in four and a half years, thats why world war 1 is called "war to end all wars".
