The collection at hand is a subjective, but representative
selection of articles in German and English on the representation
of bellicose acts in modern times. The wide range of wars treated
in these essays begins with the Canudos Civil War in the Brazilian
state of Bahia in 1896-97. The various articles include new
perceptions and interpretations of the First World War, the Spanish
Civil War of 1936-39, the Holocaust, the Second World War, the
Korean War, the wars in the former Portuguese colonies of Africa,
and the Balkan Wars of the last decade of the 20th century, and
close with the current war in Afghanistan, which began in 2001. The
wars discussed, although having different origins, such as national
pride, territorial expansion, fanatic religiousness, ethnic and
racial conflicts, great social differences, the process of
decolonization, and terrorism, have one thing in common: their
significant and constant repercussion in the print and broadcast
media over a long period of time. These modern wars have therefore
often been the object of new readings and reinterpretations until
today. The history of these wars could not have been written
without the development of journalism, the mass media, and new
technologies of war reporting in the 20th century.
