`Here is essential reading for anyone interested in the way
violence at the end of the Great War led into the post-war period
with profound and devastating effects. This innovative collection
of essays helps shift the centre of gravity of twentieth-century
European studies to the east, and does so through illuminating
studies of the breakdown of the state's monopoly on violence from
Ireland to Turkey and beyond.'
Jay Winter, Yale University
`War in Peace is a thorough, incisive read for any scholar and
enthusiast of 20th century European history ... an ideal book for
understanding more about the internecine politics that led to both
world wars.'
Farisa Khalid, PopMatters
