The notion of the First World War as 'the great seminal catastrophe' ( Urkatastrophe ) of the twentieth century is now firmly established in historiography.

Biography

Matthew Stibbe is Senior Lecturer in History at Sheffield Hallam University.

"Taken together, these essays provide insight into how class, gender, ethnicity, and nationality shaped the experiences of the First World War’s victims and combatants. Despite the geographical and thematic ground covered, Stibbe has managed to assemble a collection of complementary essays that shed new light on subjects that have received far too little attention [...] There remains much research to be done on the 1914–18 conflict, and Captivity, Forced Labour and Forced Migration in the First World War serves as an example of the sort of innovative comparative work one expects to see in the coming years. As such, it deserves a wide readership among both students and advanced scholars." Brian K. Feltman, University of Koln, Germany
