This would become known as World War One. But at the time it was never conceived to be global. Modern means offer modern opportunities to the ruling powers of Europe to expand empires, and exert national pride. Weaponry enabling mass killing by single guns, chemical weapons, explosives beyond anything ever imagined before, all ignite initiating the most massive killing Europe would ever know up to that time.
The “war to end all wars” would only light the fuse for the more terrible Second World War to come. Now through the original words of leaders, diplomats, soldiers, prime ministers, princes and kings, learn what caused the spark that turned a continent into a conflagration that would kill millions each year it lasted.
America’s will is tested in the years 1914-1916 as allies seek assistance and support against Germany. Find all this and more in THE FIRST WORLD WAR 1914-1916, Volume 11 of PowerThink’s Original Source Series.

Reviews:
“This is pure history, without all the filters of contemporary interpretation. These books will be a welcome addition to the library of anyone who wants to better understand where America has come from--and where we should be now.”
-Jay A. Parry, author, The Real George Washington
My Father W. Cleon Skousen, author of The Five Thousand Year Leap, would call this must-have collection of original source documents nothing short of pure gold of the rarest kind. This resource would have spared him decades of clawing through untold stacks and volumes of materials during his research and writing years. He would have treasured these books for that very purpose, and joins me in highly recommending these volumes to scholars and casual readers alike; anyone looking for accurate answers to difficult questions about America, freedom, and our era of unprecedented prosperity.
-Paul Skousen, author, speaker, CIA analyst, and Reagan White House intelligence officer
