The period between the two world wars of the twentieth century was
one of the most challenging in the history of war. In anticipation
of another conflict, military planners and civilian thinkers
struggled after 1918 with the painful implications of World War I.
Given its scope, the wholesale mobilisation of civilian populations
and the targets of civilians via blockades and strategic bombing,
many observers regarded this titanic conflict as a 'total war'.
They also concluded that any future conflict would bear the same
hallmarks; and they planned accordingly. The essays in this
collection, the fourth in a series on the problem of total war,
examine the inter-war period. They explore the consequences of
World War I, the intellectual efforts to analyse this conflict's
military significance, the attempts to plan for another general war
and several episodes in the 1930s that portended the war that
erupted in 1939.
