Summary, etc. What is meant by total war and in what ways did the conflicts of the period covered by this book differ so much from those that came before? In this cogent and clear exposition author Jeremy Black shows how the period contained not just the vast conflicts of the First and Second World Wars but numerous smaller events across the globe so that there was almost always a war in progress somewhere, while improving communication systems ensured news of these events was much more widely and quickly disseminated. The final chapter considers some rather paradoxical outcomes of the capacity to wage total war in the post-1945 era.
