World War I was a uniquely devastating total war that surpassed all
previous conflicts for its destruction. But what was the reality
like on the ground, for both the soldiers on the front-lines and
the women on the homefront?Drawing on intimate firsthand accounts
in diaries and letters, 'War Experiences in Rural Germany' examines
this question in detail and challenges some strongly held
assumptions about the Great War. The author makes the controversial
case for the blurring of 'front' and 'homefront'. He shows that
through the constant exchange of letters and frequent furloughs,
rural soldiers maintained a high degree of contact with their home
lives. In addition, the author provides a more nuanced
interpretation of the alleged brutalizing effect of the war
experience, suggesting that it was by far not as complete as has
been previously understood. This pathbreaking book paints a vivid
picture of the dynamics of total war on rural communities, from the
calling up of troops to the reintegration of veterans into society.
