Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La 4e de couverture indique : "La Grande Guerre - on l'appelle ainsi dès 1915 - constitue un événement qui non seulement résiste au temps mais bénéficie aujourd'hui d'un vif regain d'intérêt, au moment où est commémoré son Centenaire. Ainsi, loin d'être reléguée aux archives de la mémoire collective, la Première Guerre mondiale continue d'être présente, au sens plein du terme, dans les sociétés occidentales contemporaines. Les changements d'orientation des recherches historiennes participent de cette étonnante "survie" historique : l'histoire nationale, militaire et événementielle de la guerre de 1914-1918 est aujourd'hui achevée ; restait à écrire une histoire internationale et totale de la Grande Guerre, et l'ambition de cette encyclopédie est d'y contribuer. Cet ouvrage est le fruit d'un travail collectif de plusieurs années. Il rassemble une centaine d'articles signés par les meilleurs spécialistes mondiaux du sujet et entièrement actualisés, écrits dans la perspective d'une approche nouvelle de la guerre. L'ambition est ici de couvrir tous ses aspects (militaire, politique, économique, social, technique, religieux, artistique, et plus largement culturel) afin de donner au lecteur une compréhension exhaustive de cet immense événement qui fut la matrice du XXe siècle. Cette encyclopédie s'accompagne d'une cartographie abondante et offre une iconographie pour l'essentiel inédite, tirée des fonds de l'Historial de la Grande Guerre de Péronne."
Book Synopsis Civilians in a World at War, 1914-1918 by : Tammy M. Proctor
Download or read book Civilians in a World at War, 1914-1918 written by Tammy M. Proctor and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2010-08-30 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World War I heralded a new global era of warfare, consolidating and expanding changes that had been building throughout the previous century, while also instituting new notions of war. The 1914-18 conflict witnessed the first aerial bombing of civilian populations, the first widespread concentration camps for the internment of enemy alien civilians, and an unprecedented use of civilian labor and resources for the war effort. Humanitarian relief programs for civilians became a common feature of modern society, while food became as significant as weaponry in the fight to win. Tammy M. Proctor argues that it was World War I—the first modern, global war—that witnessed the invention of both the modern “civilian” and the “home front,” where a totalizing war strategy pitted industrial nations and their citizenries against each other. Civilians in a World at War, 1914-1918, explores the different ways civilians work and function in a war situation, and broadens our understanding of the civilian to encompass munitions workers, nurses, laundresses, refugees, aid workers, and children who lived and worked in occupied zones, on home and battle fronts, and in the spaces in between. Comprehensive and global in scope, spanning the Eastern, Western, Italian, East African, and Mediterranean fronts, Proctor examines in lucid and evocative detail the role of experts in the war, the use of forced labor, and the experiences of children in the combatant countries. As in many wars, civilians on both sides of WWI were affected, and vast displacements of the populations shaped the contemporary world in countless ways, redrawing boundaries and creating or reviving lines of ethnic conflict. Exploring primary source materials and secondary studies of combatant and neutral nations, while synthesizing French, German, Dutch, and English language sources, Proctor transcends the artificial boundaries of national histories and the exclusive focus on soldiers. Instead she tells the fascinating and long-buried story of the civilian in the Great War, allowing voices from the period to speak for themselves.

Download or read book The Great War and the Origins of Humanitarianism, 1918–1924 written by Bruno Cabanes and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-03-13 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aftermath of the Great War brought the most troubled peacetime the world had ever seen. Survivors of the war were not only the soldiers who fought, the wounded in mind and body. They were also the stateless, the children who suffered war's consequences, and later the victims of the great Russian famine of 1921 to 1923. Before the phrases 'universal human rights' and 'non-governmental organization' even existed, five remarkable men and women - René Cassin and Albert Thomas from France, Fridtjof Nansen from Norway, Herbert Hoover from the US and Eglantyne Jebb from Britain - understood that a new type of transnational organization was needed to face problems that respected no national boundaries or rivalries. Bruno Cabanes, a pioneer in the study of the aftermath of war, shows, through his vivid and revelatory history of individuals, organizations, and nations in crisis, how and when the right to human dignity first became inalienable.

This book was released on 2014-01-09 with total page 1357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first volume of The Cambridge History of the First World War provides a comprehensive account of the war's military history. An international team of leading historians charts how a war made possible by globalization and imperial expansion unfolded into catastrophe, growing year by year in scale and destructive power far beyond that which anyone had anticipated in 1914. Adopting a global perspective, the volume analyses the spatial impact of the war and the subsequent ripple effects that occurred both regionally and across the world. It explores how imperial powers devoted vast reserves of manpower and material to their war efforts and how, by doing so, they changed the political landscape of the world order. It also charts the moral, political and legal implications of the changing character of war and, in particular, the collapse of the distinction between civilian and military targets.

Book Synopsis Walking the Retreat by : Terry Cudbird
Download or read book Walking the Retreat written by Terry Cudbird and published by Andrews UK Limited. This book was released on 2015-01-05 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The opening month of the Great War ending in the Battle of the Marne (6-9 September 1914) was a turning point in modern history. The French and British armies were forced into a long retreat from Belgium but subsequently regrouped to mount a successful counter-attack. However, the miracle of the Marne, as it was later called, ended in the stalemate of the trenches. The failure of the Imperial German Army to achieve a decisive victory led to thirty years of hostility, warfare and destruction, which cost millions of lives. During the retreat to the Marne over a million soldiers marched 20 miles a day carrying 60-lb packs in temperatures above 30 degrees. They were often short of food and only managed short snatches of rest. They fought a series of engagements over two weeks which ended in a battle from the plains of Lorraine to the gates of Paris. This march tested them to the limits of endurance and beyond. In this book Terry Cudbird recreates the experience of the infantry during their gruelling journey. He describes his own August walk from southern Belgium to the battlefield, which followed the exact route taken by a French Lieutenant in the Fifth Army. He draws on a wide range of personal reminiscences, not only French but also British and German. He takes us back to the landscapes of Northern France in 1914 and explains how they have changed since that August one hundred years ago. He also reflects on the soldiers' origins and training, and their morale as they set out. This is not another military history but a unique evocation of the powers of endurance of ordinary soldiers. It will appeal to those interested in the history of the Great War, including readers who want to explore the route of the retreat for themselves.
