Shows how, for the first time in the modern era, warfare was targeted at civilians, and uses eyewitness accounts and case-studies to bring home the reality of war, by taking a world view.
As award-winning historian Alan Kramer shows in this gripping and insightful volume, there was a vast wave of cultural destruction and mass killing that swept across the map of Europe at the time of the First World War.
