Blood and Ruins
Harlem's Rattlers and the Great War
Bruno Cabanes. August 1914
At the beginning of the First World War, France mobilized some 3,781,000 men; another 4 million men would follow them during the course of the war (62). Of the more than 3 million men mobilized, 1,700,000 soldiers entrained for the war zone and combat (90). In the first battles between French forces and the German armies invading from the northeast, on August 20–23, 1914, some 40,000 French soldiers met their deaths—27,000 on August 22, “‘the blo…

Nick Lloyd. Hundred Days
Historians Nick Lloyd and Paul Jankowski have undertaken to write histories of two of the most important battles and campaigns of the First World War: Verdun, a battle that pitted the German Army against the French; and the Hundred Days Campaign that brought the war to a victorious conclusion for the Allied Powers. In Verdun: The Longest Battle of the Great War, Jankowski takes a new approach to one of the most famous and most-studied battles of …
The Cambridge History of the First World War
This first volume of The Cambridge History of the First World War provides a comprehensive account of the war's military history. An international team of leading historians charts how a war made possible by globalization and imperial expansion unfolded into catastrophe, growing year by year in scale and destructive power far beyond that which anyone had anticipated in 1914. Adopting a global perspective, the volume analyses the spatial impact of…
Black Africans in World War II
This article discusses the often forgotten contributions of black African infantry to the French and British war efforts from Europe to Asia during the Second World War. It traces the relationship between black African soldiers and their imperial rulers as it evolved over the course of two global conflicts from 1914 to 1945. The article points out how racist preconceptions about the "inferior" abilities and intelligence of Africans paralleled whi…

Despite his title, Sumida says little about innovations (e.g., in propulsion) outside of gunnery, although fire control was undoubt edly central to Fisher’s plans.

Industrial Mobilization in World War I
This study, based on primary sources, shows that the army's role in the wartime mobilization of the industry was fundamental and extensive. It determined aircraft prices and labor exemptions, regulated the industry's supply of credit and raw materials, limited patent rights, and ultimately interfered in management-labor relationships. Its policies resulted in the industry's expansion and concentration and in above average real wages for the indus…
