Описание: This book illustrates the relationship between British military policy and the development of British war aims during the opening years of the First World War. Basing his work on a wide range of unpublished documentary sources, David French reassesses for the benefit of students and scholars alike what was meant by `a war of attrition`.
Описание: This volume gives students and researchers an insight into British central government in 1914, how and why it altered during the war years and what permanent changes remained when the war was over. The war saw the scope of governmental intervention widened in an unprecedented manner. The contributors to this book analyse the reasons for this expansion and describe how the changes affected the government machine and the lives of the citizens. They consider why some innovations did not survive the coming of peace while others permanently transformed the duties and procedures of government.
Описание: Because of the exceptionally high proportion of imports in Britain?s food supply and the determined efforts of the enemy to sever the supply lines, efficient management of food resources was an essential element in the British national war effort. This volume was the first comprehensive study of this vital aspect of government strategy and fills a gap in the historiography of this period. This volume provides a balanced picture by drawing together the diverse elements that went into food policy: economic and social trends, international trade relations and labour issues. The author also traces the evolution of food policy during the pre-war planning period and the early part of the war, and analyses the roles of the United States and the labour organizations.

Описание: This book reframes British First World War literature within Britain`s history as an imperial nation. Rereading canonical war writers Siegfried Sassoon and Edmund Blunden, alongside war writing by Enid Bagnold, E. M. Forster, Mulk Raj Anand, Roly Grimshaw and others, the book makes clear that the Great War was more than a European war.

Описание: This book presents a major new history of the shaping and performance of the British army during the First World War. Ian Beckett, Timothy Bowman and Mark Connelly examine the army`s strengths and weaknesses between 1914 and 1918 from recruitment, training, discipline and morale, to strategy and operations across all theatres.
Описание: This volume comprehensively describes how British farmers coped with the problems of shortage of labour and other factors of production, as well as assessing how well agriculture performed as a supplier of food to the nation. Use of previously neglected records provides much evidence on issues such as the deployment of substitute labour and the introduction of the tractor into British farming for the first time. Challenging accepted view on the period, the author shows that shortages of labour and other factors of production had only a slight effect on farm output and the national food supply.
Описание: Drawing upon archival research in four continents, Timothy C. Winegard delivers the first comprehensive comparative history of how the indigenous peoples of Canada, Australia, Newfoundland, New Zealand and South Africa experienced the Great War. He also explores the current and evolving socio-economic and political ramifications of their service and sacrifice.
