David F. Burg teaches at Transylvania University and is the coauthor of Almanac of World War I.
"A useful reference for the Great War." -- Paper Wars
"Almanacs represent the final book(s) needed to complete a
collection regarding a particular period in history. David Burg and
L. Edward Purcell's Almanac of World War I is such a book." --
BookLovers
"Among the WWI chronologies published over the past decade, Burg
and Purcell's is unique in the amount of analysis it contains. The
main body is a detailed day-by-day account of the war's events,
emphasizing the military dimensions but also touching of politics
and diplomacy." -- Choice
"Captures the pathos and absurdity of the conflict in a way that
few others have." -- American Reference Books Annual
"Daily events, topical descriptions, biographical sketches,
informative sidebars, maps, and illustrations combine to give a
succinct account of what was happening in each of the principal
theaters of the war." -- Library Lane
"It's a great reference, so encompassing and valuable the natural
question is why it took so long to produce such a resource." --
Tallahassee Democrat
"The best book of its type on the subject." -- McCormick (SC)
Messenger
"The daily entries, the heart of the almanac, are particularly apt
in what the authors have chosen to highlight. The book has value
for buffs and scholars alike." -- Timothy K. Nenninger
"There is really nothing comparable to this volume." --
Booklist
"This valuable reference book provides a day-by-day account of the
First World War, with each entry divided geographically." --
Canadian Military History
"Whereas most accounts of World War I zero in on the muddy trenches
of the Western front, Burg and Purcell's work puts that theater in
the context of the larger war." -- Tallahassee Democrat
