Transcript Verlag Doing Anthropology in Wartime and War Zones –
Book SynopsisWorld War I marks a well-known turning point in anthropology, and this volume is the first to examine the variety of forms it took in Europe. Distinct national traditions emerged and institutes were founded, partly due to collaborations with the military. Researchers in the cultural sciences used war zones to gain access to "informants": prisoner-of-war and refugee camps, occupied territories, even the front lines. Anthropologists tailored their inquiries to aid the war effort, contributed to interpretations of the war as a "struggle" between "races", and assessed the "warlike" nature of the Balkan region, whose crises were key to the outbreak of the Great War.Trade Review"[The] combination of carefully developed specific points of research and thorough reexamination of paradigmatic theoretical models should make this volume an indispensable reading and an important point of reference for years to come." Aleksandar Boskovic, Anthropos, 107 (2012) Reviewed in: European Association of Social Anthropologists, (2011), Marius Turda

ibidem-Verlag, Jessica Haunschild u Christian Schon The Imperial Aircraft Flotilla: The Worldwide
Book SynopsisA great wave of fundraising patriotic associations followed in the wake of Great Britains declaration of war on Germany on 4 August 1914, at home but also right across the empire. The most successful public campaign of all was launched in London at the beginning of 1915. Known as the Imperial Aircraft Flotilla, the scheme aimed to attract contributions towards aircraft production costs from throughout the British Empire. Any country, locality, or community that provided sufficient funds for an entire aeroplane could have it named after them. It was promised that when the machine crashed or was shot down, the name would be transferred to a new one of the same type.Margaret Hall examines the Imperial Aircraft Flotilla as a facet of imperial history. She analyzes the fundraising efforts in Canada and Newfoundland; the Zanzibar Protectorate; Fiji, Mauritius, and the Caribbean; Hong Kong; the Malay states and Straits Settlements; West Africa, especially Gold Coast; Southern Rhodesia; Basutoland; Swaziland and the Union of South Africa; the Indian empire and Burma; (British subjects in) independent Abyssinia and Siam; in the Shanghai International Settlement, and the British community of Argentina; Australia; and New Zealand. This remarkable and detailed book discusses the propaganda and counter-subversion usages of the Imperial Aircraft Flotilla -- and what the support for the imperial war effort reveals about contemporary national and regional identities and aspirations.

ibidem-Verlag, Jessica Haunschild u Christian Schon Nailed to the rolls of honour, crucified : Iris
Book SynopsisThis book explores the war writings of Patrick MacGill, James Hanley, and Liam OFlaherty, working class, Roman Catholic Irishmen, all of whom fought in the First World War as privates and who, collectively, it is argued, constitute a distinct trio of war writers. Through discussions focusing upon class, camaraderie, violence, religion, trauma, and the body, this book considers these Irish soldiers within a cultural, social, and historical context. Central to this examination is the idea that the motives for enlistment and the experience of army labour and even combat was such that military service was perceived as work rather than a duty or vocation undertaken in support of any prevailing doctrines of patriotism or sacrifice. The mens Catholicism also shaped their aesthetic and philosophical responses to the war, even while the war conversely troubled their faith or confirmed their religious scepticism. The war writing of these men is located within both an Irish and a pan-European literary working class tradition, thereby permitting the texts to be viewed within a wider context than literature of the First World War, and from a perspective that goes beyond Ireland and Britain. These characteristics shape a perspective on the conflict very different from that of the canonical officer-writers, men such as Siegfried Sassoon, Robert Graves, or Edmund Blunden, whose work is considered alongside those of the three Irish soldier-writers.

V&R unipress GmbH Schriften des Erich Maria Remarque-Archivs.: Eine
Book SynopsisAls Erich Maria Remarque 1929 mit Im Westen nichts Neues einen Roman ëber das Fronterlebnis im Ersten Weltkrieg veröffentlichte, wurden er und sein Buch schnell zum Fall Remarque. Die unheroische Schilderung ëber das Leben und Sterben einer Gruppe deutscher Soldaten an der Westfront konterkarierte jegliche romantisierende Perspektive auf den Krieg und rief von hasserfëllter Ablehnung bis zu euphorischer Vereinnahmung starke Reaktionen hervor - nicht nur in Remarques Heimatland, sondern rund um den Globus. Anhand der zeitgenössischen Presserezeption von Im Westen nichts Neues in Deutschland und den USA stellt Nikos Späth dar, warum der Bestseller und seine Verfilmung durch Hollywood derart die Geister bewegten und sich in beiden Ländern diametral entgegengesetzte Diskurse entwickelten.

V&R unipress GmbH The Great War: Literarische und visuelle
Book SynopsisLiterarische und visuelle Repräsentationen zum Ersten Weltkrieg zeigen trotz nationaler Prägungen oft Parallelen und übergreifende Themen auf, die es ermöglichen, über Grenzen und Zeiten hinweg Brücken zu schlagen. Die zehn Beiträge fokussieren diesen Krieg, dessen Erinnerungskulturen häufig noch nationalkulturell geprägt sind, aus unterschiedlichen methodischen und Fach-Perspektiven. Durch die Analyse beispielhafter Werke verschiedenster Nationen und Mediengattungen tragen die Beiträge dazu bei, wichtige Themen im Zusammenhang mit literarischen und visuellen Darstellungen des Great War in den öffentlichen Diskurs zu rücken. Die Beiträge verdeutlichen, dass Künstler:innen, Filmemacher:innen und Autor:innen sich über Zeiten und Nationen hinweg der großen Tragweite dieses Konfliktes bewusst sind und trotz der Heterogenität ihrer Arbeiten diese auch immer wieder dazu nutzen, wichtige übergreifende Themen zu explizieren, die über nationale Grenzen hinausgehen. The ten contributions to this collection of essays focus on literary and visual representations of the First World War, a war that is still very much remembered in a national context. The authors analyse exemplary representations of sundry media, each part of a different national cultural memory, that stem from diverging time spans. The texts demonstrate that while there are still national differences in remembering this war through literature and visuals, these representations are also full of parallels. Artists, filmmakers and authors are aware of the momentousness of this world war and despite the heterogeneity of their work also use it to address universal themes that help build bridges across borders and times. By focusing on these exemplary representations, the authors of the ten essays contribute to moving important topics into public discourse.

Kopernik The Gallipoli Front of World War I: An Ordinary
Book SynopsisThis book addresses itself to the handwritten log of non-commissioned Ottoman Military officer Huseyin Atif Efendi, my grandfather. He fought in the Gallipoli and the East Fronts of World War One, before the establishment of the Republic of Turkey. In the fronts, he wrote official war logs from time to time and set tents when necessary. It contains, history in the raw its dramas and cruelties, its moments of humour some of it very black indeed its drudgery, and its excitement. I was able to reach a remarkable set of recollections as narratives from my own family oral testimonies at its most immediate and most revealing. The recollections presented as narrations, casts light on a different aspect of the World War One, often it is a light that has not been cast before, something that the most diligent of historians may have missed, or the most avid reader of sociology books not read before. Every reader will be struck by different entries, and will want to read many of them again and again.

River Books Last to the Front
Book Synopsis"What the historian must describe factually, Gee Svasti brings to life through the experience of Chai, Sumet and their comrades who traveled to war-torn Europe to bring honor and glory to their king. This is history made intimate, written in a gripping and heart-warming style." Stefan Hell, author of Siam and World War One. France 1918: with the war entering its last, critical chapter, a company of Thai drivers is late to the scene. Commanded by the prudish Captain Sumet and his hard-pressed deputy, Chai, their missions see them thrown into the chaos of the Meuse-Argonne front, delivering shells to the artillery batteries and Grand Cru vintages to the high command and medicine to beleaguered platoons, before their trucks are stolen by an American tank courts. Last to the Front is about the clash of empires, and social and historical change. It is also a personal story of the lives of young Siamese soldiers, thousands of miles from home, thrown into the world's most brutal catastrophe, battling language, prejudice and intolerance, as much as shells bayonets and machine guns. Chai, wounded in Germany, goes back to Bangkok more sanguine and wiser, but he also leaves behind deep friendships and love.

Kapon Editions Uhlans in Larissa: (Greek language edition)
Book SynopsisWhy did the allies of the Triple Entente (Russia, France, and the United Kingdom) victimise this small country and persecute its king with false accusations, why the many depredations, the seizing of Greek warships and war material, the bombing of Athens, the endless fake news produced in Greece but reproduced and amplified in Paris, why the enormities of hundreds of German submarines refuelling in Greece, thousands of German Uhlans descending on Larissa, why the starving of the Greek people? What was the aim of the Entente in doing all these things? A simplistic, but politically useful, explanation was imposed at the time and has been repeated decade after decade ever since: King Constantine was working for the Germans. This book debunks this simplistic explanation and sets out all the facts proving that there was some other reason behind the dealings of the Entente Powers; they did not act in concert and - most probably- the explanation of this enigma is to be sought in France and in Greece.

Wydawnictwo STRATUS, Artur Juszczak Weapons of the Great War: Automatic Weapons of
Book SynopsisBook tells the readers about machine guns, automatic rifles, handguns and revolvers, including both the official weapon models in service in the Russian Army in 1914-1917 and weapons not officially approved as weapons in service but nevertheless used by the troops such as obsolete Russian and non-Russian arms both supplied by the allies or captured from the enemies. A special highlight of this book is the part describing the experimental automatic weapons, without which the reader would hardly get the big picture of the state of the Russian defense engineering developments in the early 20th century.For each model described in the book, there is a brief history of how it was designed and started to be used as an approved army weapon, also with the description of the key modifications made to it throughout the period of its manufacturing for further use as in-service weapon. The book contains a detailed and meticulous description of the field use, strengths and weaknesses of the weapon seen through the eyes of the soldiers. It is the first book written by a Russian weapons history researcher providing a detailed description of machine gun system parts such as mounts, carriers and pack equipment. This book also contains unique information on flare guns and special accessories.Book contains detailed color photos of the guns preserved in different Russian museums.

Five Continents Editions The Great War – The Persuasive Power of
Book SynopsisWorld War I was called the "war of the camera." While many earlier wars fought after photography's invention were documented by the medium, WWI represented a turning point. One of the most important changes was the way in which both the Allied forces and the Central Powers used photography as a tool: to spy, to provoke and to persuade. The official photographs made during the war were telling in terms of strategies, censorship and the constant need to whip up public support for the cause. In sharp contrast to the political and military uses, the importance of photography for personal use was undeniable. Studio portraits of soldiers and their families and sweethearts were widely popular; personal photo albums created permanent records of lives that were suddenly placed at risk. This volume and the exhibition it accompanies, bring together a diverse and remarkable selection of photographs drawn from international collections to illustrate the many important roles that photography played during the war.
