  • "This wide-ranging and valuable interdisciplinary examination of World War 1 offers insights that reach beyond conventional military, economic, and diplomatic studies of the war and its impact, though these are addressed. It assesses the psychological, cultural, medical, and technological changes influenced or brought about by the conflict, both at the time and subsequently, and analyses the role played by that war in long-term developments in China. The information on the impact of the War on neutral Denmark gives it an interesting and rewarding perspective. Together, these essays add much to our knowledge and understanding of the wide-ranging legacy of what was, undoubtedly, the single most important event of the twentieth century – the Great War."

    Alan Sharp. Emeritus Professor of International History, University of Ulster

     

    "Highly relevant and highly welcomed focus on the long shadow of the First World War.

    This is a book reminding us about the fact that the Second World War was not the only motivating factor behind the process of creating the institutionalized European Cooperation in the second half of the twentieth century. It also gives us valuable insight into the  problems of meeting the challenges and threats of the perception of the nation state as the sole actor in an already then somewhat globalized world. The book is also valuable because it gives us such a multifaceted exposure of the period.

    The book is a well written and rich source for insight. Professor Dosenrode deserves praise for making this important contribution to our understanding of a period of which many have probably lost track."

    and of Development Cooperation, Honorary Professor af the University of Aalborg
