Notes / Track List

From August 1914 to November 1918, an unprecedented catastrophe gripped the world that continues to reverberate into the present day. World War I all too quickly expanded far beyond the expectations of those involved to become the first 'total war.' On the most significant level, the war led to changes in the status of the state, society, and the individual.

Summary

From August 1914 to November 1918, an unpreccedented catastrophe gripped the world that continues to reverberate into our own time. World War I was touched off by a terrorist act in Bosnia and all too quickly expanded far beyond the expectations of those who were involved to become the first "total war".
