DK Eyewitness World War I

DK Eyewitness World War I, produced in collaboration with the Imperial War Museum, takes young readers on a visual tour of the first global conflict — covering the causes of the war, life in the muddy trenches, breakthrough weapons like tanks and poison gas, the key battles and campaigns, and the Armistice and its aftermath — through more than 250 striking photographs, maps, diagrams, timelines, and expert first-hand accounts. Fully revised and fact-checked for this updated edition, the book makes one of the defining events of the 20th century vivid, accessible, and deeply engaging for ages 9–12. It is an excellent classroom resource because its visual format and bite-sized information structure help students build content knowledge, develop historical understanding, and see the human dimensions of global conflict.
