The American contribution to the war is rather played down, being limited to two pages of text, two small photos, and only two maps, those of the St. Mihiel and the Meuse-Argonne offensives. Surprisingly, these two text pages are not findable in the indexes, under either U.S. or under America, though they are identified under Pershing and the two place-names.
Several double-page time lines show in linear format the activities on the various fronts during each year of the war. In addition, there is a selective bibliography, as well as two indexes, one of general topics and the other of places. The endpaper maps are especially useful. One is a general map of Europe, with numbers corresponding to the pages in the book where that area is discussed; the other end-paper does the same with a map of the world, showing, for example, the area of von Spee's Pacific squadron and even the far-distant battle of the Falkland Islands.
Libraries already owning the Oxford Atlas might wish to supplement it with The Historical Atlas of World War I, which has colored maps, more explanatory text, and presents to its readers a better understanding of the event that was thought to be "the war to end all wars."
