  • "The Great War. An Imperial History is a landmark new history that firmly places the First World War in the context of imperialism. It was the desire for empire, deeply engrained in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century politics, which sparked conflicts and then war. It also determined the war's boundaries and governed its course and outcome. The Great War was neither inexplicable nor unforeseen, and John Morrow strongly contests the notion of a prewar Belle Epoque, replacing it with a much bleaker picture of European society at the time. His compelling account moves away from a Eurocentric view of the Great War, giving due weight to the non-European people's impact on the conflict and paying attention to colonial settings of war. John H. Morrow, Jr. is Franklin Professor of History at the University of Georgia. He specializes in the history of modern Europe and of warfare and society."@en
  • "The Great War is a landmark history that firmly places the First World War in the context of imperialism. Set to overturn conventional accounts of what happened during this, the first truly international conflict, it extends the study of the First World War beyond the confines of Europe and the Western Front. By recounting the experiences of people from the colonies especially those brought into the war effort either as volunteers or through conscription, John Morrow's magisterial work also unveils the impact of the war in Asia, India and Africa. From the origins of World War One to its bloody (and largely unknown) aftermath, The Great War is distinguished by its long chronological coverage, first person battle and home front accounts, its pan European and global emphasis and the integration of cultural considerations with political. -- Provided by publisher."
