In Britain and Europe, no event is less forgotten than World War I, or 'The Great War,' as it was called until 1939.

Speaking as somebody who is half English and half Hungarian, World War I still seems to me a familiar and seismic event, as if it had only just ended.

T. E. Lawrence was far more than a glamorous, swashbuckling, heroic figure in flowing robes mounted on a camel, leading the Arab tribes against the Turks in World War One.

Europe cannot survive another world war.

America was probably Europe's equal scientifically by the end of World War I and certainly surpassed it after the chaos of World War II.

The stories from World War I are worse than anything I have ever read.
