World War One spurred revolutions and counter-revolutions across the world, paving the way for the tyranny of Hitler and Stalin and an even greater global slaughter, World War Two, a generation later. Through the prism of history, World War One stands as perhaps the ultimate "War of Choice," a conflict that could have been avoided through skilled diplomacy and better judgment. Almost all of the men and women who experienced World War One -- in the trenches of France and Flanders, or the deserts of Arabia or the fields and factories of the home front - are gone. With them the world risks losing many of the lessons of that war and an appreciation of the pain and sacrifice endured by those who lived it. On the centennial of the end of World War One, The Associated Press has collected a series of stories tracing the arc of the conflict, from Sarajevo where the Austrian heir was slain through the agony of trench warfare and America's entry, which turned the tide against Germany and its allies.The "War To End All Wars," began with stirring words of patriotism and ended with 14 million dead, empires destroyed and the social order torn asunder. "World War I: An AP Centennial Commemorative Edition" features more than 130 photographs from the AP Archives and serves as a must-have for anyone interested in the history of military conflicts.

Powerful, visceral, and essential to preserving and understanding our past, the work of Associated Press photographers and journalists lives on through the pages of World War II.Never before in history had the day-to-day struggles and victories of war-from the homefront to the front lines-been chronicled in such graphic and unflagging detail as during the Second World War. Nearly 200 photographers and reporters of The Associated Press volunteered to cover the war across the globe from 1939 through 1945. Now, on the 70th anniversary of V-E Day, the heroic achievements of these reporters and photographers-some of whom gave their lives-are remembered through the stunning photographs and moving firsthand reports of World War II: Unforgettable Stories and Photographs by Correspondents of The Associated Press.This anniversary edition commemorates the experiences of the individuals who brought the war into the homes of millions of Americans. Included is an interview with former AP World War II correspondent George Bria who reported on the surrender of Italy, as well as a new Foreword by John Daniszewski, current AP Vice President for International News.

HOW AMERICA WON THE RACE TO THE MOON! In this fascinating history of the Apollo 11 mission, The Associated Press chronicles America's journey to the moon. In 1957 the Soviet Union sent Sputnik, the first man-made satellite, into space. America took up the challenge to explore the next frontier. A dozen years, and 25 billion dollars later, the mission of Apollo 11 would yield man's finest hour. For that was the first time man's foot left prints on another heavenly body. And that was only the beginning. "Apollo 11" is the incredible story of how a nation forged the technology during the turbulent 1960s to slip humanity from the bonds of its native planet. This inside look remembers those who made the great enterprise succeed. The achievement of the astronauts, especially Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins, was more than a victory for the United States; it was a triumphant moment for all mankind. And no other moment will seem as big until we reach beyond the moon for other planets, other stars. This special anniversary edition features an introduction by AP's Aerospace Correspondent Marcia Dunn, a bonus photo gallery and select artifacts from the corporate archives of The Associated Press.
