The Year: 1913 Illustrated, A Record of Notable Achievements and Events highlights the events from the year. Recording a contentious time in history and the development of World War I, the book includes briefs on the Balkan Tragedy, the New French President M. Raymond Poincare, an the progress of aviation. No WWI scholar's library is completed without a reflection of these events as they occurred. From the forward, "...there is little doubt that [these last five years] will be looked back upon as a century hence as the period of the Renaissance of the Twentieth Century."

This book is in fair condition, and has slight age damage in a few sections.
