Volume 3 of The Cambridge History of the First World War explores
the social and cultural history of the war and considers the role
of civil society throughout the conflict; that is to say those
institutions and practices outside the state through which the war
effort was waged. Drawing on twenty-five years of historical
scholarship, it sheds new light on culturally significant issues
such as how families and medical authorities adapted to the
challenges of war and the shift that occurred in gender roles and
behaviour that would subsequently reshape society. Adopting a
transnational approach, this volume surveys the war's treatment of
populations at risk, including refugees, minorities and internees,
to show the full extent of the disaster of war and, with it, the
stubborn survival of irrational kindness and the generosity of
spirit that persisted amidst the bitterness at the heart of
warfare, with all its contradictions and enduring legacies. This
volume concludes with a reckoning of the costs and consequences of
The Great War.
