Books, History, Bid for World Power?: New Research on the Outbreak of the First World War, Over fifty years ago the German historian Fritz Fischer published his famous book Germany's Aims in the First World War. It departed from the established consensus that many countries and governments had a shared responsibility for the outbreak of the war, and put the onus primarily onGermany. The book initiated a fierce international debate which Fischer seems to have mostly won. By the middle of the 1970s many of his controversial positions had become mainstream. More recent research, however, started to question this consensus again. Many scholars moved away from focusing onthe responsibility of individual countries or politicians and turned to the complex structures and mechanisms of the international system. How does this systemic' perspective alter the importance Fischer's findings and interpretations?This volume brings together the latest research by many of the most prominent historians of the First World War from a wide range of countries and it presents the most important trends and results of recent international scholarship, frequently based on new archival findings unavailable to Fischerat the time. By concentrating on key controversial areas of his arguments and asking which of his assumptions and interpretations still stand the test of new research, the essays in this book provide an excellent and focused overview of the complex history of the outbreak of the war. However, theyalso demonstrate that no clear new consensus has emerged so far regarding a comprehensive explanation for what still has to be seen as the great seminal catastrophe of the twentieth century (G. F. Kennan).

Poverty and Sickness in Modern Europe - Narratives of the Sick Poor, 1780-1938 (1938)
~EN NW EB DLISBN: 9781441159717 bzw. 1441159711, vermutlich in Englisch, Bloomsbury UK, neu, E-Book, elektronischer Download.
Poverty and Sickness in Modern Europe: This book provides a genuinely pan-European analysis of pauper narratives, focusing on the experiences of the sick poor in England, France, Germany, Ireland, Luxembourg, Scotland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and Wales. The contributions highlight the value of pauper narratives for exploring the agency, rhetoric and experiences of the poor and sick poor, significantly enhancing our understanding of the ways in which national and regional welfare systems operated. By foregrounding the particular experiences and strategies of the sick poor, this volume helps to establish and understand the central sentiments of the relief system and the core experiences of those under its care. What emerges is a demonstration that how a relief system treated its sick poor and how those sick poor were able to navigate the system tells us more about welfare history than analysis of any other group.
