The Great WarPutnam, 1980 - 192 страница On June 28 1914 Archduke Frans Ferdinand and his wife Sophie were assassinated by a young Austrian student who fired three shots from a pistol at close range. From these three shots and two deaths the violence was to ripple outwards across Europe and then the world in a conflict so terrible, so gigantic, that men where to remember it, very simply, as 'The Great War'. |
