Overview

This study of World War I crosses the boundaries of national histories to examine the various connections between the 400 mile long Western Front and the home fronts of the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Canada, Australia, the United States, and other participants. A thorough re-examination of the Great War has been underway since the 1970s and this book draws on rich primary and secondary sources to synthesise a complex event, re-thinking the patterns of war, society, culture, and governance in the early 20th century.

Reviews

'While the twenty pages of footnotes suggest the scholarship, the horizon of the author is far wider than the title would suggest, and this is probably the real virtue of a book like this.' - Andrew Hunt, History Teaching Review Yearbook 'The Western Front is by no means merely an account of the war in the West. In my opinion, it is the best introduction we now have to the history of the Great War altogether.' - Ralph Raico, The Independent Review
