Named one of the Ten Best Books of 2013 by The Economist

World War I altered the landscape of the modern world in every conceivable arena. Millions died; empires collapsed; new ideologies and political movements arose; poison gas, warplanes, tanks, submarines, and other technologies appeared. "Total war" emerged as a grim, mature reality.

In The Great War, Peter Hart provides a masterful combat history of this global conflict. Focusing on the decisive engagements, Hart explores the immense challenges faced by the commanders on all sides. He surveys the belligerent nations, analyzing their strengths, weaknesses, and strategic imperatives. Russia, for example, was obsessed with securing an exit from the Black Sea, while France--having lost to Prussia in 1871, before Germany united--constructed a network of defensive alliances, even as it held a grudge over the loss of Alsace-Lorraine. Hart offers deft portraits of the commanders, the prewar plans, and the unexpected obstacles and setbacks that upended the initial operations.

Wonderful bunny toy
Pattern Name: Rabbit
My dog is totally obsessed with this bunny! She loves it so much. She doesn’t chew it up or squeak it which is strange but she packs it around with her everywhere she goes. She is lab pit mix and usually chews toys to shreds in a few days but not this one!

Miki destroyed this toy in 30 minutes
Pattern Name: Duck, Pattern Name: Duck
I like the fact that it had several squeakers & was longer than most toys. He played with it for less than 5 minutes & here it lays on the floor. He has absolutely no interest in it & that is not the way he normally acts with a new toy. The money wasis a waste, but the fact that he has no interest is a big disappointment. I could not recommend this toy for any dog. This toy was put away from lack of interest from Miki when we got it. I got it out the other day & I am adding this info because it is important for pet owners to know how much this is a danger to your animal. ThMiki tore the stitching in the head in a few minutes. I stitched it up & let him have it back. He proceeded to destroy this toy. This lead to squeakers coming out along with stuffing. In the title of the description it says -No Stuffing Plush Pet Chew Toys- also this is supposed to be for medium to large dogs. I can sew him a toy much safer than this one. Please read this review & do not purchase this toy. I really can't give this a 1 star as it really is a zero.

Cute, not very sturdy.
Pattern Name: Duck
My heavy chewer basset hound tore a squeaker out in the first half hour. He loves the toy, but its width is too wide. Get a snake toy if you want to play tug with a squeaky toy.

Definitely for large indoor dog!!
Pattern Name: Duck
We received this duck today. It is huge. Wish I had read the description better because I didn't expect it to be so wide or quite so long. I have a medium sized dog, and this is definitely way too big for him. I don't know of any really big dogs that live in the house, but that is where this would need to be used. Didn't realize it would have so much fur on it, either. My dog would definitely not like all that fur in his mouth. He loves squeakers, and all the squeakers work. Disappointed. Can't keep this for my medium sized dog.
