Daily Lives of Civilians in Wartime Twentieth-Century Europe

This volume examines the civilian experiences of the First World War, the Russian Civil War, Spanish Civil War, the Second World War and the former Yugoslavia in the 1990s. It examines many aspects of violence, bloodshed, and hardship for those not on the battle lines, but also provides suggestions for further reading. Chapters including vivid accounts of civilians' roles and experiences through wars in twentieth-century Europe are supplemented by recommended print and online resources for further study, a glossary defining important terms and concepts, and a timeline putting events into a chronological context.
