Empires, Soldiers, and Citizens 2/e offers a vivid range of
eyewitness perspectives - from female munitions workers to Indian
troops in France - which explore the social, cultural, and military
dimensions of World War I. This second edition includes added
material to reflect the very latest historical
thinking.
* Combines documents and themes that have proven successful in
the first edition with new sources and topics that are currently at
the forefront of historical debate and research
* Now features 59 new documents which illustrate the
imperial dimensions of the conflict and broaden the coverage
of 'war culture' and developments in Eastern Europe
* Documents have been included which pay particular attention to
the experiences and perspectives of ordinary people, whose voices
are often underrepresented in broad accounts
* The bibliography has been expanded and completely updated,
complemented by a new series of maps and illustrations
should facilitate a focused yet general understanding of the
war's incredible scope without overwhelming readers with the
detailed minutiae often found in primary source material.

'Empires, Soldiers and Citizens is an indispensable
guide to that growing band of students, scholars, and general
readers increasingly drawn to the catastrophe that launched the
century of total war. The updated edition has an attractive
format and up-to-date scholarship easily accessible to all. A
signal success.' --Jay Winter, Yale
University
'Empires, Soldiers and Citizens is an augmented
edition of the best collection of primary documents I know of for
introducing students to the Great War. This edition admirably
follows the broader historiographical trend of putting "the world"
back into World War I by its attention to empire, from the
perspectives both of imperialists and imperial subjects.'
--Leonard V. Smith, Oberlin College
