The First World War was too big to be grasped by its participants.
In the retelling of their war in the competing memories of leaders
and commanders, and the anguished fiction of its combatants, any
sense of order and purpose, effort and achievement, was missing.
Drawing on the experience of front line soldiers, munitions
workers, politicians and those managing the vast economy of
industrialised warfare, Attrition explains for the first time why
and how this new type of conflict born out of industrial society
was fought as it was. It was the first mass war in which the
resources of the fully-mobilised societies strained every sinew in
a conflict over ideals - and the humblest and highest were all
caught up in the national enterprise. In a stunning narrative, this
brilliant and necessary reassessment of the whole war cuts behind
the myth-making to reveal the determination, organization and
ambition on all sides.
