Re-visiting World War I
Peter Lang Gmbh, Internationaler Verlag Der Wissenschaften
978-3-631-67455-0 (ISBN)
This book discusses various aspects of World War I. It focuses on topics proposed by contributors resulting from their own research interests. Nevertheless, as a result of common efforts, re-visiting those chosen aspects of the Great War of 1914-1918 enables the presentation of a volume that shows the multidimensional nature and consequences of this turning point in the history of particular nations, if not all mankind. This book, if treated as an intellectual journey through several continents, shows that World War I was not exclusively Europe's war, and that it touched - in different ways - more parts of the globe than usually considered.
