Reviews

"A powerful and important book that turns our attention to the often understudied experiences of civilians at war. Civilians in a World at War, makes a major contribution not only to the history of World War I but to the history of civilians involved in war before and since." Michael S. Neiberg, author of Fighting the Great War: A Global History "Proctor offers a comprehensive analysis of the impact of World War I on the ways men and women not in uniform functioned in an environment that pitted not only armies but citizens against each other. This is easily the best work of its kind to emerge from the new generation of scholars who are expanding the horizons of Great War studies." Dennis Showalter, Colorado College
