Blood, sweat, and tears : British mobilization for World War II

Abstract

In 20 papers from the fifth and final sitting of a conference series on total war, August 2001 in Hamburg, European and North American historians focus on World War II as total war. This war was characterized as the paradigm for total war when the notion was first introduced. They consider the dimensions of war, combat, mobilizing economies, mobilizing societies, the war against non-combatants, and criminal war
