These essays explore the discourse on war in Germany and the United
States between 1871 and 1914 - in the era bounded by the
mid-century wars in Europe and North America and the First World
War. The concept of 'total war', which was prefigured in aspects of
the earlier conflicts and realized in 1914, provides the analytical
focus. The essays reveal vigorous discussions of warfare in several
forums - among soldiers, statesmen, women's groups and educators -
on both sides of the Atlantic. Predictions of long, cataclysmic
wars were not uncommon in these discussions, while the involvement
of German and American soldiers in colonial warfare suggested that
future combat would not spare civilians. Despite these
'anticipations of total war', virtually no one drew the practical
implications in planning for war in the early twentieth century.
