"This serious, compact survey of the war's history stands out as the most well-informed, accessible work available." (Los Angeles Times)

Nearly a century has passed since the outbreak of World War I, yet as military historian Hew Strachan (winner of the 2016 Pritzker Literature Award) argues in this brilliant and authoritative new book, the legacy of the "war to end all wars" is with us still. The First World War was a truly global conflict from the start, with many of the most decisive battles fought in or directly affecting the Balkans, Africa, and the Ottoman Empire. Even more than World War II, the First World War continues to shape the politics and international relations of our world, especially in hot spots like the Middle East and the Balkans.

Strachan has done a masterful job of reexamining the causes, the major campaigns, and the consequences of the First World War, compressing a lifetime of knowledge into a single definitive volume tailored for the general reader. Written in crisp, compelling prose and enlivened with extraordinarily vivid photographs and detailed maps, The First World War re-creates this world-altering conflict both on and off the battlefield--the clash of ideologies between the colonial powers at the center of the war, the social and economic unrest that swept Europe both before and after, the military strategies employed with stunning success and tragic failure in the various theaters of war, the terms of peace and why it didn't last.

Drawing on material culled from many countries, Strachan offers a fresh, clear-sighted perspective on how the war not only redrew the map of the world but also set in motion the most dangerous conflicts of today. Deeply learned, powerfully written, and soon to be released with a new introduction that commemorates the hundredth anniversary of the outbreak of the war, The First World War remains a landmark of contemporary history.

Smells great, works well! ❤️
Made a basket for my husband, smells so so good!!! He loves new face creames and he says this stuff feels great. He struggles with black heads and I already saw improvement in his skin texture in just 2 washes.

Good product, but needs a little work to be perfect.
Honest product review here: It's very close to being perfect. 1. The tubes are a very good size, I get annoyed with products that cost a lot and the tubes are the size of my fingers (Tiege). 2. The foaming cleanser is great, no complaints. My face feels very clean. 3. The facial scrub could use some work. This could be a preference but I like my facial scrubs to feel like they're taking a steel wool pad to my face and grinding the dead skin off, and afterwards I get that "fresh air" feel on my face. This doesn't cut it for me. If this was improved I would like this more. 4. The moisturizer. I'll start off with the good, it feels GREAT! It's not oily, it takes only 15-30seconds of rubbing to really get into my skin and just overall great feeling. HOWEVER, who the hell designed that smell. It's like a chemical mint, what in the world, I've never smelled anything like that. Not a fan, I feel us men have to deal with the worst smells; fresh sport, swagger, and tree bark for our options (i elect to pick tree bark). Now chemical mint??? Needs work. 5. No comments on the eye cream, I didn't use it. Probably never will who knows. This is a really solid product, the volume is there for the price, the moisturizer feels great, and the cleanser feels great. If they could fix the intensity of the facial scrub and that moisturizer smell it would be a 5 star for me. If you are the product design team or owner and you're reading this, it's close. Fix the two items I mentioned and you have me as a customer for life. However, I would advise against pushing that price point above $40. I feel the $32-$35 is a sweet spot. Tiege team has lost their minds pushing $45 product for those tubes, don't do that.

My new choice for skincare!
Was looking for new skincare and came across Viking Revolution. Let me just say I’m happy I did! Phenomenal skincare that really gets the job done. Luxurious lather on the Foaming cleanser, that leaves my face fresh and clean but not stripped of moisture. The microdermabrasion Skin Scrub is my fave and gentle enough to use everyday. My skin definitely looks brighter since I started using this. The set does come with an eye cream which is pretty great, and a moisturizer that doesn’t leave my skin and beard feeling greasy but nice and soft. Extremely impressed w the large sizes in the set and I’m totally a fan and loyal customer now. Excited to try some of their other products which there are a ton! Pricing is reasonable for everything you get and believe me a little goes a long way. 5 stars!! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A major upgrade from standard drugstore brands—sophisticated scent & better lather.
I have been a long-time user of standard body washes (think Old Spice, Axe, or Dove Men), but I kept seeing hype about Cremo and decided to see if it was worth the slightly higher price tag. After using the 32oz Spice & Black Vanilla for a week, I can confidently say this is a massive upgrade for your shower routine. ​Here is how it stacks up against the typical grocery store brands: ​1. The Scent is on another level: Most cheaper washes smell like generic "Sport" or "Ocean" cologne. This scent is much more complex and earthy. ​Top Notes: It starts with a sharp, spicy kick (that's the cardamom). ​Finish: It settles into a smooth, warm vanilla and tobacco scent. It smells more like a high-end department store fragrance than a soap. ​Staying Power: The scent actually lingers. If you shower in the morning, you will still catch subtle hints of the warm spices for a few hours, which pairs really well with woody colognes. ​2. Performance & Feel: The consistency is thicker than what I'm used to. You only need one solid pump to get a rich lather with a loofah. Crucially, it rinses clean without leaving that "squeaky" residue that dries out your skin, but it also doesn't leave a slick oily film like some ultra-moisturizing washes do. It hits a perfect balance. ​3. Value: The 32oz bottle is substantial. Because the gel is concentrated, I expect this bottle to last 3-4 months easily, making the cost per ounce very reasonable compared to buying smaller bottles of cheaper stuff every few weeks. ​Pros: ​Sophisticated, "grown-up" scent profile. ​High-quality pump (sturdy, doesn't clog). ​Non-drying formula is great for colder months. ​Cons: ​Potency: The scent is strong. If you are sensitive to fragrance or prefer unscented products, this might be overwhelming. The bathroom will smell like it for a good 20 minutes after you're done (which I enjoy, but keep it in mind). ​Verdict: This bridges the gap between basic hygiene and luxury grooming. If you are tired of smelling like "Blue Sport" and want something warmer and more refined for the fall/winter, this is absolutely worth the switch.
