Opis

America's role in the First World War is an historically overlooked and misunderstood event. The war is typically presented as a conflict which began in 1917 and drew to a quick close with little effect on the nation at large. In fact the war began in in 1914 and the United States quickly started providing funding and material aid to the Allied powers. The war itself fundamentally uprooted the economic, political and social structure of the nation from its inception and changed America's place in the world. This book seeks to trace that history, to provide a complete description of the course of the war including the horrors the American Expeditionary Force encountered on the Western Front, the process of industrialization the nation at large underwent and examine the resulting political, societal and economic changes the United States underwent as a result.
