Dynamic of Destruction: Culture and Mass Killing in the First World War (Making of the Modern World)
"Kramer's careful weighing of the available evidence, and his insistence on taking seriously the way that events were understood at the time rather than perpetuating historical myth, provides an instructive methodology for future historians. In its centennial year, our understanding of the First World War is still incomplete. Alan Kramer shows us why it is so important to continue to investigate its events and interpretations." --Library of Social Science Book Reviews"This stimulating, scholarly and shrewd book is as rich in original ideas and accounts of unfamiliar aspects of World War I as it is energetic in its revisionism."--New York Times Book Review"An invaluable contribution in Great War historiography and pedagogy." --World History Bulletin"An ambitious book in a class by itself, deserving of careful reading by any WWI scholar." --Camaraderie: The Journal of the Western Front Association
