The First World War by John Keegan5/12/2023 ![]() Is it from his father who served in the war? He is not clear on this issue. Where could he have gotten this experience? Nevertheless, he narrates the events and military strategies of the First World War in a manner that reflects a first-hand experience in the war. ![]() ![]() Indeed, he was born in 1934, which is much later after First World War. Hence, his book is not based on a first-hand experience on the first world events. In developing the above two themes, Keegan relied on secondary materials as evidenced in the footnotes of the book. Keegan is also committed to narrating different events that took place in the Second World War where he shows how the different pieces fit together. It is developed through narrations, analysis, and critical assessment of military conflicts in a fashion that is not anticipated of a person untrained in military operations. ![]() One of the major themes is the manner in which the war progressed out of the failure of diplomacy and communication resulting in the escalation of bilateral disputes into a global conflict. In The First World War, John Keegan explores various war-related themes. His major writings include Who Was Who in the World War II, Fields of Battle: The Wars for North America, The Iraq War, and The First World War among others. ![]()
