Attack on All Fronts
The Culture of Twentieth-century War
Description:... The 20th-century was arguably the most belligerent in history, marked as it was by a culture of war - that is, values, attitudes, and so on, which support the waging of war. At the same time, this culture shifted profoundly so that now, in the 21st century, we can plausibly think about a culture of peace. This book looks at turning-points in the 20th-century cultural attitudes towards war, from the sacrificed soldier of World War One to the anti-war demonstrations of the Sixties, and beyond to the ubiquitous War on Terrorism.
