"This remarkable feat of scholarship reveals rich and important unknown histories of the First World War that will fundamentally enhance our understanding of the conflict and its imperial nature. At its heart, this book uncovers the significance of the myriad, often life-changing, diverse human encounters that the war generated and their historical legacy in contributing to global change. It is an outstanding achievement and essential reading."
