In 1917, the rising global tensions caused by the First World War culminated in the entrance of the U.S. into the conflict and the eruption of the Russian Revolution. In commemoration of the centennial of these tumultuous events, historian Jeremy Black explores the world leaders who were reshaping the global landscape - including Woodrow Wilson, Kaiser Wilhelm II, and Vladimir Lenin - and reveals how the Great War ushered in the birth of the modern age and foreshadowed an even greater conflict to come.
