WW I project ?

What has become of the three-volume account of the First World War? More than 20 years ago, in 2001, the first volume "To Arms" was published with over 1000 pages. 2 more volumes were planned with the titles "No Quarter" (about 1915/16) and "Fall Out" (about the rest). Strachan has published other things in the meantime - but has obviously lost interest in this project ? --2001:A61:48D:5201:25F2:4825:53FD:7A58 (talk) 07:16, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

'With the pressures of modern academic life, and the (still ongoing) demands on Strachan’s time, it is neither surprising that he failed to finish nor, sadly, likely that he will now. Indeed, given the weight of new scholarship generated in the last 20 years, could any single scholar, however skilled and Stakhanovite, hope to complete such a project? Even if such a historian could be found, would any British university today have the patience, or any publisher the courage, to support them?' (Boff, Jonathan. "Sir Hew Strachan and the Study of the First World War." War in History 27.4 (2020): 605-616.) Mapple (talk) 09:57, 25 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
