This book documents the experiences of the Central Powers, specifically Austria-Hungary, Germany, and the Ottoman Empire during 1917, as they fought on land, at sea, and in the air. Drawing on hundreds of contemporary photographs, many of them never previously published, this book examines the experiences of these three nations, spotlighting not only the events that occurred throughout the year, but the lives of those individuals fighting and dying to defend their homelands, families, and friends. Each chapter includes a succinct overview of a single front or theater of operation, complimenting the hundreds of professional and amateur photographs contained within. Though many of the images are of the German and Austro-Hungarian armies on the Westfront and Ostfront, several additional chapters also explore the fighting across other, lesser-known fronts, including the Südwest Front and in Sinai, Palestine, and Mesopotamia. This book is an excellent pictorial guide that would be of benefit to anyone seeking to gain a better understanding of what life was like from the perspective of the German, Austro-Hungarian, and Ottoman armies, and their peoples during the fourth year of the First World War.
