A Part of History: Aspects of the British Experience of the First World War

By Michael Eliot Howard

Book Overview

As the first survivors die out, the First World War passes into the realm of history. This book is a consideration of various aspects of the British experience of the war in the light of more recent historiographical trends: but also a prediction of how these areas are likely to be researched and written about in the future. The central theme is how our understanding of the war is likely to change now that first hand experience has been lost. The contributors to this book are: Michael Howard Gary Sheffield Dan Todman Stephen Badsey Terry Charman Esther Maccallum Stewart Gavin Stamp Brian Bond Dominic Hibberd Michael Burleigh Jane Potter Terry Castle Ian Bostridge Max Saunders Julian Putkowski Malcolm Brown Trevor Wilson Peter Hart Santanu Das Nick Hewitt Tony Pollard Nicholas Reeves Lyn MacDonald
