The 20th century was by far the world's most destructive century with two global wars marking its first half and the constant fear of nuclear annihilation haunting the second. Examining warfare in Europe from the Fashoda conflict to the Iraqi conflict, this text treats warfare as a function of larger political, cultural, social and economic issues.

This is the story of the evolution of the citizen army throughout Western nations during the nineteenth century and up through World War I.
