Although civilian internment has become associated with the Second
World War in popular memory, it has a longer history. The turning
point in this history occurred during the First World War when, in
the interests of 'security' in a situation of total war, the
internment of 'enemy aliens' became part of state policy for the
belligerent states, resulting in the incarceration, displacement
and, in more extreme cases, the death by neglect or deliberate
killing of hundreds of thousands of people throughout the world.
This pioneering book on internment during the First World War
brings together international experts to investigate the importance
of the conflict for the history of civilian incarceration.
