World War I New York cover

American involvement in World War I started and ended in New York Harbor. In 1917 many troops departed from the city which would be an important hub throughout the war as recruiting and patriotic efforts continued. Following the Armistice in 1918, more memorials were erected to World War I veterans than for any other event. Now on the centennial, explore more than 50 locations in New York that have ties to The Great War and tell the stories behind each.

This WWI book will help even the lifelong New Yorker look at the city through new eyes. The past is all around for you to see if you’re looking through the right glasses! -- Trav S. D., Travalanche
A compact navigator to more than 50 historically significant locations in the city ... a timely reminder of the legacy left by the conflict. * The New York Times, 7/30/17 *
