No less than the internal combustion engine, the transistor, or the
silicon chip, barbed wire is a quintessentially modern invention, a
product that has influenced the lives of millions of people across
the globe since its invention in the late nineteenth century. Now
in paperback, Barbed Wire: A Political History demonstrates that
the invention of barbed wire was a major breakthrough with
far-reaching consequences. Cheap and mass-produced, barbed wire
accomplished what no other product did before it, or has since done
more effectively: the control of vast amounts of open space. Razac
describes how barbed wire has been employed in the harnessing of
nature, brutal mass warfare, political conquest and repression, and
genocide. In a narrative that spans the history of the American
frontier, the trenches of World War I, the Holocaust, and beyond,
Barbed Wire: A Political History looks unflinchingly at a central
and fascinating strand of modern life.
