One of the most violent conflicts in the annals of civilization, World Battle I has been strangely ignored in American culture. It has turned into a ghostly battle fought in a haze of recollection, often seen simply as a faraway preamble to World Battle II. In The Long Shadow critically-acclaimed historian David Reynolds seeks to broaden our eyesight by examining the impact of the Great War over the twentieth century. He shows how incidents in that turbulent century-particularly World Battle II, the Chilly Battle, and the collapse of Communism-shaped and reshaped behaviour to 1914-18.By discovering big themes such as democracy and empire, nationalism and capitalism, as well as art and poetry, The Long Shadow is stunningly wide in its historical point of view. Reynolds throws light on the great expanse of the previous century and talks about why 1914-18 is a issue that America is still struggling to comprehend. Forging connections between people, places, and ideas, The Long Shadow ventures over the traditional subcultures of historical scholarship to offer a rich and layered assessment not only of politics, diplomacy, and security but also of economics, art, and literature. The result is a magisterial reinterpretation of the place of the Great Battle in modern history.
