Stig Förster: Hundert Jahre danach. Neue Literatur zum Ersten Weltkrieg

Abstract

One Hundred Years After. New Books on the First World War
The following essay reviews some of the most important books that were published at the centenary of the First World War. Among them are monumental books as well as smaller publications. The essay discusses trends and new developments in recent historiography on the Great War. Transnational history has certainly become more prominent. But large monographs on singles countries have not lost their value. Violence in war has developed into an important topic. The impact of the First World War on non-European countries receives more attention. And the international debate on the causes and origins of this war continues with renewed vigour. These new publications demonstrate the high level of research that has been reached in recent years.
