Evidence, History and the Great War by Gail Braybon

Evidence, History and the Great War by Gail Braybon

Taking a fresh look at the Great War, this title returns to the original oral, textual, pictorial and artistic evidence and looks at how historians have used, or abused, this evidence over the years.

“…a series of ten stimulating essays on differing aspects of World War One, loosely, but not exclusively, linked around the theme of the role played by womenAs such it is an important collection, which has already gone into a second printing. While some of the essays sum up the current state of play after decades of historical controversy, others are pioneering ventures, opening up new areas for further research. As the editor says quite accurately in her introduction (p. 8): ‘the essays in this book bring something fresh to debates about the war’.”
