Alan Kramer has published widely on the history of war, including the prize-winning German Atrocities 1914. A History of Denial (Yale UP, 2001, with co-author John Horne). His next book, Dynamic of Destruction. Culture and Mass Killing in the First World War (OUP, 2007) applied a transnational perspective to war in Europe, 1912-23. As one of the founding editors of 1914-1918 Online. International Encyclopedia of the First World War, he has been at the forefront of the turn to global history, which inspired also his co-edited books, Welt der Lager. Zur "Erfolgsgeschichte" einer Institution (Hamburger Edition, 2013), and Fascist Warfare, 1922-1945 (Palgrave, 2019).
