Capital Cities at War: Paris, London, Berlin 1914–1919

by Jay Murray Winter

This ambitious volume marks a huge step in our understanding of the social history of the Great War. The authors have compiled a vast array of data and have drawn an original and coherent portrait of European cities at war. Contributors from several fields bring an interdisciplinary approach to the book, and represent the best of recent scholarship. One of the few truly comparative works on the Great War, this volume will transform social studies of the conflict and is likely to become a model for research.

This book encompasses so much (social structure, economic policy, urban habitat, etc.) it can with all certainty be viewed as a very valuable source for the study of WWI.
