1914–1918 – An Anatomy of Global Confl1ict cover

1914–1918: An Anatomy of Global Conflict recounts a history of the First World War from an anthropological perspective. It shares the stories of individual participants, which include soldiers, civilians, and women. The study revisits the events of the war through the lens of everyday life, economic affairs, migration, invasion, military occupation, the role of civilian infrastructure, and the impact of the national question; and it undertakes a clinical analysis of various models of ground warfare.

Chwalba's concise account adopts an anthropological approach set within the framework of an innovative layout designed by the author and announced in the title of his book… This is a highly recommendable book, and its quality is determined above all by its structuralist approach to the discourse. -- Professor Tomasz Schramm * Institute of History, Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznan *
