« Ten Myths about the First World War » is a book that meets an essential need: moving beyond clichés and simplifications that blur our understanding of the Great War. Many readers, whether passionate about history or simply curious, still come up against these persistent myths that distort the reality of 1914–1918. This book guides them in deconstructing these preconceived ideas and discovering the complexity of a defining conflict. The book is structured around ten major myths, each carefully dismantled through engaging and rigorous chapters. Drawing on period press articles, diary entries, and soldiers' letters, each myth is placed in context and re-examined. For example, the myth that "the war was inevitable" is analyzed in light of diplomatic tensions, while the claim that "the war ended in 1918" is challenged by the violence and crises of the postwar years. What are the book's key strengths? A demanding historical method, a narrative brought to life by moving testimonies, and a nuanced analysis that revives the debates of the past. Each chapter closes with a critical reflection, prompting the reader to think differently. In the end, this work is more than just a history book: it is a call to move beyond ready-made ideas, to question collective memory, and to reflect on how myths shape our vision of the past. If you're looking for a book that sheds light on the hidden sides of the First World War, that challenges myths with documented realities, and that gives a voice to history's forgotten, this book is for you. Don't remain trapped by clichés: treat yourself to « Ten Myths about the First World War » and explore the little-known truths of a conflict that still resonates today.
