"Inventions of the Great War" by A. Russell Bond is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work explores the significant inventions that emerged during World War I, particularly focusing on their impact on warfare and military strategy. Through a detailed examination, the author highlights inventions such as the airplane, submarine, machine-gun, and more, emphasizing the American contributions to these technological advancements. At the start of the narrative, the author sets the stage for understanding the technological landscape at the onset of the Great War. The opening portion discusses the unexpected preparedness of the German military, their rapid mobilization, and the subsequent transition to trench warfare, which drastically altered the nature of combat. It describes how both sides adapted to these new conditions, leading to innovations in defensive techniques, including elaborate trench systems and new weaponry designed to break the stalemate of trench warfare, highlighting the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the combatants involved.
