Andrew Marr's the Making of Modern Britain

Britain gets its first taste of total war. It transformed the lives of the British people: most dramatically the millions who fought on the frontline but also those at home who were bereaved, bombed, uprooted and bankrupted. With vivid archive and extraordinary anecdotes, Andrew Marr tells the story of Lord Kitchener's volunteer army - the biggest in history.
