Empires, Soldiers, and Citizens

‘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
