Fire and Blood looks at the European crisis of the two world wars
as a single historical sequence: the age of the European Civil War
(1914-1945). Its overture was played out in the trenches of the
Great War; its coda on a ruined continent. It opened with
conventional declarations of war and finished with "unconditional
surrender." Proclamations of national unity led to eventual
devastation, with entire countries torn to pieces. During these
three decades of deepening conflicts, a classical interstate
conflict morphed into a global civil war, abandoning rules of
engagement and fought by irreducible enemies rather than legitimate
adversaries, each seeking the annihilation of its opponents. It was
a time of both unchained passions and industrial, rationalized
massacre. Utilizing multiple sources, Enzo Traverso depicts the
dialectic of this era of wars, revolutions and genocides. Rejecting
commonplace notions of "totalitarian evil," he rediscovers the
feelings and reinterprets the ideas of an age of intellectual and
political commitment when Europe shaped world history with its own
collapse.
