World War I: A Turning Point in Modern History

Description

This collection of distinguished essays, woven by the editor's Introduction and Conclusion into a general historical synthesis, attempts to show why the First World War is a turning point in modern history. It covers a wide range of problems, including intellectual and cultural trends of the postwar period that reflect the spirit of a changing social order in America and in Western Europe. The phenomenon known as "total war" is examined and its consequences, both domestic and foreign, are emphasized in view of the role it has played in revolutionizing twentieth-century values and institutions.
