Proximity and Distance: Space, Time and World War I edited by Romain Fathi and Emily Robertson

Book Description

Secondhand. Near fine condition. Slight wear at tail spine.

The global magnitude of World War I has meant that proximity and distance were highly influential in the ways the conflict was conducted, and how it was experienced at tactical, political and emotional levels. This book explores how participants and observers in World War I negotiated the temporal and spatial challenges of the conflict.

International in scope, it investigates how technology, mass media, elite diplomacy and imperial networks interacted in conjunction with proximity and distance. The authors canvass a range of approaches to the conflict, from cultural history to social, political and military history. Proximity and distance were contingencies that participants had to adapt to continually. This book documents how these adaptations were approached. (back cover)
