The Great War and Veterans' Internationalism (Hardcover)

After the Great War, Veterans were a new transnational mass
phenomenon. Their status raised a number of new questions about the
presence of ex-soldiers in society, their entitlement in terms of
welfare (pensions, disability benefits, etc), and their role in
politics and on the international stage. This volume sets national
expertise within a transnational framework. It shows traditions of
internationalism and of commitment to international institutions
among former soldiers that even survived into the post-1945 world.
The volume discusses extent and impact of international veterans'
organisations such as CIAMAC and FIDAC and draws out important
comparative points between well-researched and documented movements
(i.e. France, Britain, Germany) and those that are less well-known.
Certainly in terms of geography, the project will show that these
cultures did not exclude any part of formerly belligerent Europe,
and that 'fraternal links' between veterans branched out across the
continent and beyond. The volume explores these transformations in
the memory of war and the identity of veterans in the interwar
period throughout Europe and the wider world.
