Professor Coffman has written an excellent synthesis of the totality of the American military experience in World War I. The book’s principal attraction is Coffman’s use of unpublished diaries, memoirs, and personal interviews to focus on the impact of the conflict on the individual American doughboy as well as on America’s military leaders. The lessons from the “Great War” are still applicable today for all the Army’s junior and senior leaders.

The War to End All Wars is considered by many to be the best single account of America's participation in World War I. Covering famous battles, the birth of the air force, naval engagements, the War Department, and experiences of the troops, this indispensable volume is again available in paperback for students and general readers.
