A vivid account of the final days of the First World War and the events surrounding the Armistice of 11 November 1918. Drawing upon diaries, letters, memoirs and contemporary documents, Stanley Weintraub reconstructs the negotiations, the final fighting and the reactions of soldiers, political leaders and civilians across the world. The narrative moves from military headquarters and government offices to hospitals, railway carriages and city streets, capturing both the relief that greeted the end of the conflict and the uncertainty of the world that followed.
