Militärische und zivile Kriegserfahrungen 1914–1918

How did soldiers and civilians experience the First World War? How did the mobilization, the years-long war and the end of the war affect society? These questions were addressed in a course at the Institute of Historical Sciences and European Ethnology at the University of Innsbruck in the summer semester of 2009, the results of which are summarized in this 376-page volume. Traumatization, dying behind the front, displacement, hunger, and moral decay are just some of the topics addressed by the contributions.
