Saul David's 100 Days to Victory is a totally original, utterly engaging account of the Great War
- the first book to tell the story of the 'war to end all wars' through the events of one hundred key days between 1914 & 1918. The history of any war is more than a list of key battles & Saul David shows vividly how the First World War reached beyond the battlefield, touching upon events & lives which shaped the conduct & outcome of the conflict. Ranging from the young Adolf Hitler's reaction to the assassination of Archduke Ferdin&, through a Zeppelin raid on Scarborough, the tragic dramas of Gallipoli & the battlefields of the Western Front to the individual bravery of the first Indian VC, Saul David brings people & events dramatically to life. 100 Day to Voctory is a 360 degree portrait of a global conflict that stretched east from the shores of Britain to the marshes of Iraq, & south from the forests of Russia to the bush of German South East Africa. Throughout his gripping narrative we hear the voices of men & women both eminent & ordinary, some who were spectators on the Home Front, others
- including Saul David's own family
- who were deeply embroiled in epic battles that changed the world forever. 100 Days to Victory is the work of a great historian & supreme story teller. Most importantly, it is also an enthralling tribute to a generation whose sacrifice should never be forgotten.
