Fourteen million combatants died, four empires were destroyed, and even the victors' empires were fatally damaged. World War I took humanity from the nineteenth century forcibly into the twentieth--and then, at Versailles, cast Europe on the path to World War II as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eWorld War One\u003c\/em\u003e, Norman Stone, one of the world's greatest historians, has achieved the almost impossible task of writing a terse and witty short history of the war.
