"This is the first systematic study of the nature and extent of the social changes bought about in Europe and North America by the major twentieth-century wars. While recognising the essential uniqueness of historical events, Professor Marwick argues that these changes can best be explained by developing a 'model' which breaks down warned for meaningful components. Throughout the book  and without detriment to the clarity of the narrative of the events themselves  there is discussion of war as 'destruction', of the way in which war 'tests existing institutions', of the manner in which 'participation' in war-time benefits underprivileged group, and of the 'psychological repercussions' of war." -- from rear panel blurb. Rubbing to the book edges with reading creases and fading to the back strip. Browning and scattered foxing to the text block edges with lighter browning and foxing to the pages.
