The History Of The Great War
Edited by Newman Flower
Published by The Waverley Book Company Limited: London c1915 - 1922
Includes Volumes 1 - 8
Edition Specially Prepared For Subscribers
"The History of the Great War, edited by Newman Flower and published by The Waverley Book Company Limited, London between circa 1915 and 1922, is an extensive eight-volume chronicle of the First World War, produced while many of its events were still unfolding. Designed as a special subscribers' edition, the series combines official reports, eyewitness accounts, and photographic documentation to provide a comprehensive and patriotic record of the conflict from its origins to the Armistice. Each volume covers distinct phases of the war—political developments, military campaigns, naval battles, and the evolving role of the British Empire—illustrated with detailed maps, portraits, and dramatic battlefield imagery that brought the realities of modern warfare into the homes of its readers.

Written with both historical seriousness and a tone of national resolve, the work captures the scale and intensity of a global struggle that reshaped the twentieth century. Flower's editorial direction balances factual reportage with a sense of moral purpose, honouring the courage and sacrifice of those who served. Richly bound and finely illustrated, the set stands as both a historical document and a work of early wartime publishing craftsmanship—intended to preserve, for posterity, an authoritative account of the Great War as experienced by Britain and its allies."
