Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
"...this is a highly important collection of essays providing insights into the nineteenth century origins of the twentieth century standard of extreme, all-consuming, horrific warfare known as 'total war.'" The Journal of Military History "...immense volume...The comparative format of this volume proves valuable." The Journal of American History "This book will find its greatest audience among academics. Readers will find the essays well supported with a wide range of sources, as might be expected in a work that is itself somewhat broad." H-Net Reviews "The project's intellectual and financial sponsors merit corresponding praise for expanding the scope of the remaining conferences to address total war in European and global contexts." The Journal of Modern History "...these essays make important and original contributions to a historiography on the Great War that continues to evolve in exciting and promising new directions."| Technology and Culture Read more...
