"History is numbers as well as words and images, and the numbers should be the starting point for those trying to understand the history. The Great War produced large volumes stuffed with long columns of numbers, covering almost anything you can think of, from how many prisoners were taken in a given battle to the number of troops in each age group who contracted a venereal disease ... This book makes some of the most important and revealing numbers accessible, not as long columns, but mostly graphs, which make it easier to compare the figures for the two sides and the changes over time. The book resembles an extended PowerPoint presentation of the war, in which the graphs and numbers would flash on the screen, while the text provides the narration"--Page 8.
