Excerpt from Subject Index of the Books Relating to the European War, 1914 1918, Acquired by the British Museum, 1914 1920 The present Index registers all the books and printed documents relating to the Great War acquired by the British Museum from the beginning of August 1914 to the close of 1920, including the entries already printed in the Subject Index of Modern Works acquired in the years 1911-1915. It also registers the books and documents connected with the Peace and Reconstruction issued and acquired in the same period. It thus forms the largest contribution to the bibliography of the \var which has yet been published. The general principles of arrangement which have been found to work well in the previous volumes of the general Subject Index have been applied to this many-sided subject to the best of the ability of the compilers. An effort has been made to break up the larger headings by grouping together books written in the languages of each of the combatant countries and neutrals, and again by keeping together the books of the same year to mark the stages of the con ict at which they were written. A conspectus of the headings and sub-headings follows this Preface, and an alphabetical index to sub-headings is printed at the end of the text. The books having already been entered in the General Catalogue of Printed Books under their authors or the authorities which issued them, the provision of an Index of Authors has been regarded as a luxury of which circumstances do not permit. While the poetry of the War and religious books have been admitted, fiction in the form of war novels is not here registered. Regimental news papers are entered, but the vast contribution to the literature of the \var made by the periodical Press of all countries is necessarily excluded.l Finally, while the Index registers cartoons it omits the war posters used to stimulate recruiting and subscription to war loans. At the beginning of the War some arrangements were made for collecting such. Posters issued in our own and allied countries, but the effort was abandoned in order not to duplicate work which was being done by the Imperial War Museum. A fine collection of French posters which had been acquired has been transferred, on account of its artistic interest, to the Department of Prints and Drawings.

Researching World War I by Robin Higham,Dennis E. Showalter Pdf
World War I was the greatest cataclysm Europe had ever known, directly involving 61 million troops from 16 nations. Yet the history of the war and the reasons it started and spread so rapidly were vastly more complex than the players realized. Written by highly respected authorities, this book discusses the literature on all aspects of the war, making it an excellent starting point for anyone seeking guidance to the immense, and often daunting, body of World War I literature. The struggle mobilized manpower from home, troops from the colonies abroad, and—in most countries-women as well as men. Governments increasingly intervened in everyday life. New weapons and organizational structures were developed. Yet the history of the war and the reasons it started and spread so rapidly were vastly more complex than the players realized. Written by highly respected authorities, this book discusses the literature on all aspects of the war. Dennis Showalter's opening chapter covers the controversial issue of the war's origins—a complex subject that has been much debated by historians. Ensuing chapters consider the literature on each of the participating countries. The broader subjects of the war at sea and the war in the air are also covered. Daniel Beaver's final chapter discusses the mobilization of industry and the new military technology. This book is an excellent starting point for anyone seeking guidance to the immense, and often daunting, body of World War I literature.
Between the opulent Edwardian years and the 1920s the First World War opens like a gap in time. England after the war was a different place; the arts were different; history was different; sex, society, class were all different. Samuel Hynes examines the process of that transformation. He explores a vast cultural mosaic comprising novels and poetry, music and theatre, journalism, paintings, films, parliamentary debates, public monuments, sartorial fashions, personal diaries and letters. Told in rich detail, this penetrating account shatters much of the received wisdom about the First World War. It shows how English culture adapted itself to the needs of killing, how our stereotypes of the war gradually took shape and how the nations thought and imagination were profoundly and irretrievably changed.
This is the first truly definitive history of the First World War, the war that has done most to shape the twentieth century. The first generation of its historians had access to only a limited range of sources, and their focus was primarily on military events. More recent approaches have embraced cultural, diplomatic, economic, and social history. In Hew Strachan's authoritative and readable history these fresh perspectives are incorporated with the military and strategicnarrative. The result is an account that breaks the bounds of national preoccupations to become both global and comparative.To Arms, the first of three volumes in this magisterial study, examines not only the causes of the war and its opening clashes on land and sea, but also the ideas that underpinned it, and the motivations of the people who supported it. It provides full and pioneering accounts of the war's finances, of the war in Africa, and of the Central Powers' bid to widen the war outside Europe.
German Assault Troops of the First World War by Stephen Bull Pdf
To many it would later seem as if the rule book of war had been torn up and thrown away. The First World War is usually characterised as a static war of attrition, but by the end of the war a new doctrine of fire and movement emerged with the squad as the key tactical unit, marking a fundamental shift in methods of warfare in the twentieth century. As late as March 1918, assault detachments used these tactics to destroy the British 5th Army and take 50,000 prisoners. Stephen Bull traces the development of German storm tactics in the context of trench warfare waged with new technology: improved machine guns and machine-gun tactics, super-heavy artillery, flamethrowers and gas. The legend of German stormtroopers has proved powerful and enduring. They were central to Blitzkrieg, and Hitler styled them as elite soldiers – living examples of Nietzschean supermen. However, as Bull demonstrates, these tactics did not appear out of nowhere, they represented a general shift in tactical thought during the First World War. Drawing upon German, French and British tactical manuals, German Assault Troops of the First World War considers a watershed in the history of the infantry.
