One Effect of World War I

The New York Times today reviewed Alan Kramer's "Dynamic of Destruction: Culture and Mass Killing in the First World War." Montefiore, the Times reviewer, called it an "important" book and a "stimulating, scholarly and shrewd book." Pretty high praise. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/04/books/review/Sebag-Montefiore-t.html?_r=1&oref=slogin (signin may be required) http://tcdlocalportal.tcd.ie/pls/public/staff.detail?p_unit=histories_humanities&p_name=alkramer

Co-author, with John Horne, of the award-winning German Atrocities, 1914: A History of Denial (2001) and author of The West German Economy 1945-1955 (1991) along with many, many articles, Professor Kramer’s latest book, Dynamic of Destruction: Culture and Mass Killing in the First World War has just been published by Oxford University Press.
