In deference to the principle that total war requires total
history, Roger Chickering traces the all-embracing impact of the
First World War on life in the German city of Freiburg. His book
shows how the war took over every facet of life in the city, from
industrial production to the supply of basic material resources,
above all food and fuel. It documents the breakdown of distinctions
between the home front and the fighting front, as the city fell
victim to strategic bombing. It analyzes the war as a sensory
experience, which could be seen, heard, felt, smelled, and tasted
as it exhausted the city, drained it of residents, and eroded civic
bonds among those who remained. Roger Chickering offers the most
comprehensive history ever written of a German city at war. The
book will appeal to urban and military historians, as well as to
social and cultural historians.
