What to expect
Edward M. Coffman’s stunning work of military history, The War to End All Wars, offers a fresh and interesting perspective on the Great War, focusing solely on the United States as a major player in the struggle. Coffman pays special attention to the American soldier and his experiences throughout the conflict, making this a brilliant social history as well.

Critics Review
-
“Will surely stand as the first source for anyone interested in the conflict.”
Stephen Ambrose, bestselling author and historian
-
“[Coffman] can explain complex matters in a few sharp paragraphs, illuminate technical discussions with personal vignettes, and use statistics to clarify rather than confuse…Should become standard reading in twentieth-century American history courses.”
Indiana Magazine of History
-
“A history of the entire American military involvement in World War I, it is widely regarded as the most authoritative work on its topic.”
Lexington Herald-Leader
-
“As a reference on the American military presence in World War I, Coffman’s book should be a standard for anyone interested in such studies.”
Tallahassee Democrat
