When the guns roared across Europe in 1914, warfare transformed forever. The Guns, 1914-18 by Ian V. Hogg is a vivid odyssey into the arsenal of World War I—where every weapon shaped strategy, survival, and sacrifice. Across rugged trenches, muddy battlefields, and the shattered front lines, Hogg brings to life the rifles, machine guns, howitzers, and coastal batteries that defined the Great War. Illustrated with period photos and detailed schematics, this book reveals how technical innovation met brutal necessity, and how each barrel, trigger, and barrel-led shell turned the tides of battles. A must-read for anyone fascinated by military history, engineering, or the human will to endure under fire.
