The US invasion of Iraq in 2003 was done mainly, if one is to
believe US policy at the time, to liberate the people of Iraq from
an oppressive dictator. However, the many protests in London, New
York, and other cities imply that the policy of "making the world
safe for democracy" was not shared by millions of people in many
Western countries. Thinking about this controversy inspired the
present volume, which takes a closer look at how society responded
to the outbreaks and conclusions of the First and Second World
Wars. In order to examine this relationship between the conduct of
wars and public opinion, leading scholars trace the moods and
attitudes of the people of four Western countries (Great Britain,
France, Germany and Italy) before, during and after the crucial
moments of the two major conflicts of the twentieth century.
Focusing less on politics and more on how people experienced the
wars, this volume shows how the distinction between enthusiasm for
war and concern about its consequences is rarely clear-cut.
