Cambridge University Press German Strategy Path Verdun Erich von Falkenhayn and the Development of Attrition 18701916 Cambridge Military Histories
Book SynopsisAlmost 90 years since its conclusion, the battle of Verdun is still little understood. German Strategy and the Path to Verdun is a detailed examination of this seminal battle based on research conducted in archives long thought lost. Material returned to Germany from the former Soviet Union has allowed for a reinterpretation of Erich von Falkenhayn's overall strategy for the war and of the development of German operational and tactical concepts to fit this new strategy of attrition. By taking a long view of the development of German military ideas from the end of the Franco-German War in 1871, German Strategy and the Path to Verdun also gives much-needed context to Falkenhayn's ideas and the course of one of the greatest battles of attrition the world has ever known.Trade Review'This book is far more than a study of a grim battle … Foley has written a book which will be referred to repeatedly.'

Cambridge University Press Citizen Soldiers
Book SynopsisCitizen Soldiers uses letters and official sources to investigate the experience of the British soldier in the First World War. It casts light on the soldier's relationship with home, his attitudes towards war, command and discipline within the army and the importance of local identity to military morale.Trade ReviewReview of the hardback: '… is of much more than local interest.' Times Literary SupplementReview of the hardback: '… excellent … an exemplary blending of social and military history … this is important, 'cutting edge' history.' Military IllustratedReview of the hardback: '… not short of historiographical ambition … On the war itself, McCartney appears exemplary in her range of reference and close historiographical engagement …' Northern HistoryReview of the hardback: 'This is not just another rehash of the exploits of the dehumanised, oppressed, passive British Tommy slogging through the mud of Flanders, that field, like the trenches, is full almost to overcrowding. Instead McCartney considers how the ordinary men involved retained their civilian outlook, their local connections, their social status throughout those terrible years and, in the vast majority of cases, if they were lucky enough to escape unscathed, picked up the threads of their pre-war life … Helen B. McCartney has produced a first class work using not only official sources, as would be expected, but also the letters and diaries of the men involved … The book benefits from page by page footnotes and comprehensive bibliography, whilst the photographs, tables and maps only add to our pleasure and understanding. …For anyone wishing to study the social and cultural history of the British soldier in the first World War this book opens up a new dimension in our understanding and is required reading, chapter 9 The Aftermath of War especially so.' Open History: The Journal of the Open University History SocietyReview of the hardback: 'Citizen Soldiers is one of the rare publications to breach this divide, combining detailed knowledge of military organization and structure with a careful consideration of the impact of the war on society and class and regional identity … It is … the job of good historical studies to ask as many questions as they answer. McCartney's careful, detailed and fascinating study of the experiences and identities of the Liverpool battalions in the war years deserves to be accompanied by further regional studies, in order that we may build a more detailed understanding of the lives of those who experienced the Great War.' Reviews in HistoryReview of the hardback: ' … this is a subject which deserves a wider readership and Citizen Soldiers is an excellent start; may it inspire urban and local historians to re-examine the relationship between the city and its citizens …' Urban HistoryTable of Contents1. Introduction; 2. Pre-war Liverpool and the Territorial Force; Part I. Territorial Characteristics and the Morale of the Soldier: 3. 'Cuff and Collar Battalions:' social change and its impact on the unit; 4. 'Common ties at home and strong county pride': the persistence and importance of county uniformity; 5. The links with home: communication between the home front and the fighting front; Part II. Command, Discipline and the Citizen Soldier: 6. Command and consent in the trenches; 7. Discipline, punishment and the territorial ethos; Part III. Attitudes and Experience: The War and its Aftermath: 8. The experience of active service on the Western Front; 9. The aftermath of war.

Cambridge University Press China and the Great War
Book SynopsisChina's role in the First World War has been a curiously neglected topic. This 2005 book is a full-length study of China's involvement in the conflict from perspectives of international history, using previously unknown archival materials. In this account, Professor Xu restores the China war memory into its rightful place.Trade ReviewReview of the hardback: 'Any student of WW1 would consider this book as an essential read.' Open HistoryReview of the hardback: '… a fine example of the writing of international history, based on careful archival research. The argument is skilfully developed and assisted by a small section of illustrations. It puts before the reader the Chinese side of a story which is not unfamiliar but which has been slanted in the past.' The China QuarterlyReview of the hardback: 'This is an important book, helping to answer hitherto neglected questions about China's role in the Great War and the role the war played in bringing China onto a changing international stage. It is well researched and written, and deserves to be read widely.' Asian AffairsTable of ContentsIntroduction; Part I. The Stage Is Set: 1. China's preparation for entry into the international system; 2. The rise of Chinese internationalism and the new diplomacy; Part II. China Attempts to Join the War: 3. China responses to the outbreak of war; 4. 'Using laborers as soldiers' - an alternative strategy; 5. China's formal entry into the war; Part III. The Great War in Chinese Domestic Politics and Foreign Relations: 6. The war within; 7. The 1919 Paris Peace Conference and China's search for a new world order; Conclusion.
