British propaganda aimed at the USA:
"It should be America's duty to help us subdue the mad dog of Europe."

 

When I first started this web site I was unaware of any regular publications pertaining to the Great War. Through the miracle of e-mail I have been set straight by the publishers and editors of the items listed below. I have subscribed to several and have read them all. They all represent quality offerings which I can highly recommend. Please use the e-mail links to obtain subscription or ordering information.

Please note that I consider these publications very much along the lines of public television and public radio here in the USA - they need the support of people like you to keep them going. If you have a serious interest in the study of the Great War, then by all means show your support by subscribing to one or more of these publications.
