World War I, the first "total war" in history, set in motion
profound changes in the economies, demographics, and philosophies
of the warring states. In this book, leading experts on the Great
War discuss its causes, character, and legacy. Their writings show
that to study World War I is to encounter not only the dissolution
of the four defeated empires-Russia, Germany, Austria-Hungary, and
Turkey-but also the collapse of the optimistic assumption of
progress that had defined the nineteenth century. The analysis of
the Great War, in fact, provides an essential framework for our
understanding of the entire twentieth century. The book draws
together military history, international history, and cultural
history to offer a wide-ranging summary of current knowledge and
debate regarding the First World War. Contributors to this volume:
Modris Eksteins, Gerald Feldman, William C. Fuller, Jr., Mary R.
Habeck, Holger H. Herwig, John Horne, Michael Howard, A. S.
Kanya-Forstner, Leonard V. Smith, Zara Steiner, David Stevenson
