Now all roads lead to France and heavy is the tread
Of the living; but the dead returning lightly dance.

The Magazine of the World War I Centennial:
Coming in January 2014


Starting with our January issue we are recasting our subscription magazine Over the Top as THE magazine of the World War I centennial. With the first issue of our Volume 8, we will parallel month by month the Great War,  initially covering the run up to the war and, then, with our June issue on the Black Hand and the Assassination of the Archduke, presenting cutting-edge articles on the critical earthshaking events of that same month 100 years ago. Our 2014 centennial editorial program is presented below with the link to download our flyer for ordering information. If you mention that you are subscribing through Roads, you will also receive our Decmeber 2013 issue for free upon subscription or purchase of any of our past annual CD compilations.

  1. What first started the fighting among the Great Powers after the Austrians beat up on Serbia? Was it the Russian partial mobilization or the Germans and their RR plans? In other words, who made the first move that made the Great War inevitable?

  2. What a grand idea! I of course will be waiting impatiently for your August issue. Now that "The Great War Dawning" is out and published we have moved on to the battle Halen 12 August. We are pretty well into the manuscript already. I will probably approach Military History Press about their interest this week. We always look forward to your publications.
