Reviews

In recent years, works by Hubertus F. Jahn, Peter Gatrell, Peter Holquist, Eric Lohr, Joshua A. Sanborn, Melissa K. Stockdale, and others have expanded our knowledge of World War I''s impact in Russia. . . . Cohen''s new book adds an important dimension to this historiography, demonstrating that wartime cultural mobilization was more pervasive and more complex than previously understood. -Stephen M. Norris, American Historical Review -- Stephen M. Norris American Historical Review


[Cohen's] focused argument that Russian avant-garde painters found their public and forged a closer link to the government in the crucible of the Great War makes an original and important contribution both to art history and to the history of the mobilization for war. --Eric Lohr, Slavic Review --Eric Lohr Slavic Review
