- Summary:
- This collection of thirteen articles on the wars of the twentieth century examines the effects of "total war" in a wide variety of European and Asian contexts and explores the effects of modern warfare on the collective psyches of metropolitan populations. Topics discussed include the first days of the London blitz, symbols of national rejuvenation in the Ottoman Balkans, ghettos and the remaking of urban space and memorials to total destruction in post-war Japan. The volume includes several black and white illustrations. The contributors are historians from American, European and Japanese institutions.
