- “From time to time the reader picks up a book, and has trouble putting it down. This is certainly one of those! The colour photographs present an amazing insight into a world and time that many of us have only ever seen in black and white. Although rare colour images from the time are well-known to historians, this is perhaps the first time such a comprehensive book has been published after gathering together so many from archives across the world. Anyone who has any interest in the First World War will find this title a worthwhile addition to the home library. Five out of five stars!”
— Mark Simner Blog, London - “…History and photography buffs will devour this extraordinary collection of nearly forgotten color images from the war that was to have ended all wars.”
— Historynet.com, Los Angeles - “…an entirely new view of that bitter conflict.”
— Aura Magazine, Manchester - “…a rich, vibrant record of the Great War.”
— Total Politics, London - «Un livre magnifique… Passionnant, émouvant et terrible.»
