Works Consulted / Further Reading

The number of primary sources - literature - documents - and realia, broadly considered,  produced by the participants of the Great War - that remain extant and available for consultation, is vast.   The secondary literature is equally considerable, as waves of historical scholarship flow and overflow, revise, revisit and then re-revise again the historical evidence.  

While each article in the Exhibition contains a list of the immediately cited works and consulted references, a broad list of all works consulted, and works recommended for further reading may assist the researcher and reader.
