Between 1914 and 1917, huge numbers of people - perhaps as many as 16 million soldiers and two million civilians - were killed, wounded or maimed in enormous battles that sometimes ranged across a front of 100 km in length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThrough intimate eyewitness reports, diary entries and memoirs - many of which have never been translated into English before - Lloyd reconstructs the full story of a war that began in the Balkans as a local struggle between Austria-Hungary and Serbia, and which sucked in Russia, Germany and Italy, right through to the final collapse of the Habsburg Empire in 1918.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Eastern Front paints a vivid and authoritative picture of a conflict that shook the world, and that remains central to understanding the tragic, blood-soaked trajectory of the entire twentieth century, including the current war in Ukraine.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nick Lloyd","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":45993104507123,"sku":"9780241506851","price":65.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/4284\/5939\/files\/9780241506851.jpg?v=1721160476","url":"https:\/\/www.harryhartog.com.au\/products\/the-eastern-front-nick-lloyd-9780241506851","provider":"Harry Hartog Bookseller","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
