World+War+One

World War I by Christine Hatt New York: Franklin Watts, 2000 

Call Number: 940.3 **__Summary/Description__:**This book is a History of the First World War from a historical standpoint. The book takes you from the gathering clouds of 1912 to the Armistice of 1918. The book is good for the big picture of the war, but it is not very good at describing the particular battles. This is a very good book altogether. It could have been a bit thicker on the battles.

**__Summary/Description__:**  This book is a in depth encyclopedia of the minor details of the first world war. The book offers a great deal about the weapons and tools that won the war. It gives brief descriptions on the battles and major events. It mostly focuses on the daily life of a soldier and the things that keep him alive. The book is altogether helpful for those who want to find more information about the Great War.

__**Beyond the Book**__: Go beyond the book by exploring these recommended web resources:
 * __ [|History.com] __ - This is the History.com article on world war one. It provides links to other articles about the Great War and its after affects. It is a article from professional historians and is very credible. This article can also lead you to other sites about history and the Great War. It is a commercial site so be careful on what you click.
 * __ [|First World War.com] __ - This is the official site of the Great War. It offers a wide range of material on many of the ins and outs of the conflict. From the opening shots to the final kill, this site has articles. The site has poetry, propaganda, photos, and diaries on the Great War. It is a very good site.
 * [|War for Children] - This site is an extremely watered down version of World War One for kids. It provides many Videos on the war. It also has activities and worksheets. I find them to be extremely helpful. Use this site to your advantage.
 * [|West Point Battle Maps] - These are the battle maps of the movements of the armies in the major battles of World War one. For those who aren't particularly knowledgeable on military matters, West point is where we train our officers. They keep strict military records on all wars. This site helps with the tactical aspect of the war. It is particularly credible.
 * [|A History of the Great War] - This is practically a book in itself. It is the complete story of world war one in one website. Be warned, it is a commercial site, so there are adds. There is commentary on the site of why possible tactual failures exist. Besides the commercial aspect, the site is commendable on its offered information on the Great War.
 * [|A Time line of World War One] - This is a complete time line of World War One. This site is particularly good being that all the information is quick and easy to read. It is mainly a brief take on the main events and battles in the war, and the little things were skipped over. There is really no more information to a slide than the date, what happened, and who won. The site is another commercial site so don't go clicking on any ads.
