The Second World War's destructive impact on the continent of Europe probably exceeds that of any previous disaster in the modern era. This volume is concerned with a brief six-year period. Wright, having mastered a vast amount of diffuse literature on WWII, has put his own stimulating interpretations on a difficult and complicated subject. The book goes far beyond the usual military chronicle. It is a splendid synthesis of a tragic phase of recent European history.

Diese Festschrift ist dem Historiker Stig Förster gewidmet, der sich insbesondere in der modernen Militärgeschichte und der Imperialismusforschung einen Namen gemacht hat. Mit der Betonung globaler Prozesse und dem Einbezug außereuropäischer Akteure nahm Förster bereits zu Beginn der 1990er Jahre einige der Kernelemente der Globalgeschichte vorweg. In diesem Band werden seine beiden Forschungsgebiete durch namhafte Autorinnen und Autoren zusammengebracht. Im Zentrum stehen Kriege und Machtkonflikte in ihren globalen Dimensionen. Diese werden nicht nur als Auseinandersetzungen zwischen Staatsoberhäuptern und ihren Armeen verstanden, sondern in ihrem jeweiligen gesellschaftlichen Umfeld situiert.

In deference to the principle that total war requires total history, Roger Chickering traces the all-embracing impact of the First World War on life in the German city of Freiburg. His book shows how the war took over every facet of life in the city, from industrial production to the supply of basic material resources, above all food and fuel. It documents the breakdown of distinctions between the home front and the fighting front, as the city fell victim to strategic bombing. It analyzes the war as a sensory experience, which could be seen, heard, felt, smelled, and tasted as it exhausted the city, drained it of residents, and eroded civic bonds among those who remained. Roger Chickering offers the most comprehensive history ever written of a German city at war. The book will appeal to urban and military historians, as well as to social and cultural historians.
