Recent history should remind us that it was events in the Balkans
which sparked off World War I (1914-1918), with the assassination
of the Austrian heir Prince Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo, and the
consequent invasion of Serbia by Austro-Hungarian armies on 2
August 1914. Nevertheless, the subsequent four-year war in that
theatre is always overshadowed by the simultaneous campaigns on the
Western Front. For the first time this book offers a concise
account of these complex campaigns, the organisation, orders of
battle, and the uniforms and insignia of the armies involved:
Austro-Hungarian, German, Ottoman, Serbian, Montenegrin, Albanian,
British, French, Italian, Russian, Bulgarian, Greek and Rumanian.
