First World War in British History

This fresh reassessment looks beyond the immediate effects of World War I to consider the war as a catalyst of coming change, as a revolutionary influence, and as a force for reaction. The contributors also address the interpretive problem of identifying the onset of developments specific to the interwar period.

"A very useful book. Anyone interested in both the general philosophic question of how to measure the impact of war on society, and the particular subject of Britain during the Great War, should read the book."--The International History Review

"Does an excellent job of summarizing the current state of research on wartime Britain and the immediate post and interwar periods."--Albion
