Abstract

This volume is the fourth in a series of five, publishing the proceedings of conferences held by the German Historical Institute in Washington, D.C., to examine the concept of total war, from the American Civil War to the Second World War. It comprises eighteen chapters, of which (despite the subtitle) all but two deal with Europe. The range of subjects is wide, including some whose connection with the concept of total war is not immediately obvious. For example, the essays dealing with Paul Tillich's changing views on pacifism and with the effects of the two World Wars on psychiatry in Britain are fascinating in themselves, but seem isolated from the main theme of the book.
