A Military Atlas of the First World War
Author: Arthur Banks
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781848844988
Category : World War, 1914-1918
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
A comprehensive atlas based on the Arthur Banks atlas first published in 1975. The maps in the original were all painstakingly hand-drawn in black and white, covering every aspect of the first truly global war. This book takes the information laid down by Banks and re-interprets it in full colour, computer modelled cartography. The book covers the main reasons why the major powers entered the conflict, the individual battles fought along the Western Front as well as in depth coverage of the war in the east of Europe. The War at sea is mapped in great detail, including the clashes at Dogger Bank and Jutland as well as the German submarine campaigns and the first major seaborne landing at Gallipoli. The First World War saw the first extensive use of air power, maps show the routes taken by the German Zeppelin raids on eastern England as well as the Allied strategic bombing effort at the end of the war. In Arthur Banks own words: "I hope that the book will be a convenient reference work which deals with those areas where a more detailed examination in cartographical terms has long been demanded.'' AUTHOR: Alex Swanston has worked on over 30 historical titles, creating the cartography and layout, along with picture editing he has written two previous books: 'The Historical Atlas of World War II' for Quarto Books and the 'Atlas of Air Warfare' for Amber Books, the latter has been translated into seven different languages. Over 350 colour maps and 150 Diagrams
