Summary

This important sourcebook provides undergraduates with an introduction to the social, political, economic, and cultural aspects of World War I previously ignored or underemphasized in textbooks. By concentrating on the experiences of real people such as soldiers fighting at the front, people waiting in bread lines, and women working in munitions factories, the volume illustrates the impact of the war on men and women throughout Europe.
