A rare and remarkable cultural history of World War I that unearths the roots of modernism

Recognizing that â‚¬Å“The Great War was the psychological turning point . . . for modernism as a whole,â‚¬Â author Modris Eksteins examines the lives of ordinary people, works of modern literature, and pivotal historical events to redefine the way we look at our past and toward our future.
