This is really good
And I say that as a student* of war, and having recently read Margaret Macmillan's great book on the causes of WW1.
Not everything needs to be a six part narrative history or a Newsnight discussion on the war poets (like last night). There's a generation (several generations) of kids who don't know shit about the First World War, why it started and why it's important.
Anything that can explain that, be fun and, most importantly, be accurate gets a big click from me.
*Not being pompous here, actually have a worthless BA in War
