Author: NIALL FERGUSON Title: The pity of war
Description: Penguin Press, 1998. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 623. For many Americans the First World War is the forgotten war: a war that seems to have fallen into an historical void between the Civil War and World War II. This is surprising given its profound significance to the United States. More than four million Americans were mobilized in 1917-18, of whom more than 100,000 were killed - double the number who died in Vietnam. This was the first, bloody step on the road to globalism which would characterize our foreign policy for the rest of the twentieth century. Even American literature was transformed by the impact of the war on writers like Hemingway and Fitzgerald. ISBN: 9780713992465. Cond./Kwaliteit: Redelijk.
