On the Far Western Front by Phillip A Dehne
Discover a new front of the First World War: the battle for domination of South America. -- .In every respect this is an excellent piece of workDehne deepens our understanding of
the First World War through scholarly analysis of one of its most neglected aspects. He
challenges us to think widely about the nature of that war, the way it was fought, and the
long lead up to it. He helps us to see the conflict in South America in the broadest way
possible, and against broad historiographical debates. Dehne describes his aim in the
following terms:
In short, this book globalizes a war that took place in what has been recognized as an early era
of globalization. In doing so, it integrates the hitherto disparate histories of the First World
War, particularly the economic war, with those of imperialism, dependency, and national
identity. (p. 5)
In this the author has amply succeeded. This book is a good and important one.
