The War No One Won
By E.H. Carr
The Eastern Front, 1914-1917
by Norman Stone
Scribner's, 348 pp., $15.00
The publication of Norman Stone's history of the eastern front in the First World War reveals why it has had so few predecessors (virtually none in English). It covers a field of immense complexity, imperfectly recorded. Though the war started on an Eastern pretext, the killing of an Austrian archduke by a Serbian nationalist, it immediately turned into a gigantic struggle between the Western powers.
