Collision of Empires

Collision of Empires sheds light on the fierce battles fought in the East during the First World War, focusing on the clashes between Russia, Austro-Hungary, and Germany that often go unnoticed. As the 100th anniversary of the war approached in 2014, this work combines firsthand accounts and detailed archival research to dramatically recount the tumultuous events of the war's first year, including the pivotal battles of Tannenberg and the Masurian Lakes, along with conflicts in Galicia and the German advance toward Warsaw.
