An International Rediscovery of World War One: Distant Fronts: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "An International Rediscovery of World War One: Distant Fronts" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
International contributors from the fields of political science, cultural studies, history, and literature grapple with both the local and global impact of World War I on marginal communities in China, Syria, Europe, Russia, and the Caribbean. Readers can uncover the neglected stories of this World War I as contributors draw particular attention to features of the war that are underrepresented such as Chinese contingent labor, East Prussian deportees, remittances from Syrian immigrants in the New World to struggling relatives in the Ottoman Empire, the war effort from Serbia to Martinique, and other war experiences. By redirecting focus away from the traditional areas of historical examination, such as battles on the Western Front and military strategy, this collection of chapters, international and interdisciplinary in nature, illustrates the wars omnipresence throughout the world, in particular its effect on less studied peoples and regions. The primary objective of this volume is to examine World War I through the lens of its forgotten participants, neglected stories, and underrepresented peoples.

The First World War is a subject of perennial interest to historians and is often regarded as a watershed event, marking the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the modern industrial world. The sheer scale of the conflict and massive loss of life means that it is constantly being assessed and reassessed to examine its lasting military, political, sociological, industrial, cultural and economic impact. Reflecting the latest international scholarly research, the Routledge Studies in First World War History series provides a unique platform for the publication of monographs on all aspects of the Great War. Whilst the main thrust of the series is on the military aspects of the conflict, other related areas (including cultural, visual, literary, political and social) are also addressed. Books published are aimed primarily at a post-graduate academic audience, furthering exciting recent interpretations of the war, whilst still being accessible enough to appeal to a wider audience of educated lay readers.

Robert B. McCormick dedicates the book to his World War I ancestors, Foster, Frank, and Eustace Bradley, of Troy, South Carolina, who served in France as officers in the American Expeditionary Force.
Araceli Hernndez-Laroche would like to dedicate this book to her husband, Franois; her beaux-parents, Dominique and Jean-Franois Laroche; her parents, Carmen and Salvador Hernndez; her siblings, Sal, Claudia, Ana, Jess Marcos, and Beatrice; and her brother-in-law, Ryan Lamb, who served his country valiantly. Aracelis trip to Verdun in 2010 with her French family was one of the most impactful in her life. They will always honor the memory of Dominiques grandfather, Auguste Desvignes, whose twenty-seven-year-old body was never found in that somber battlefield.
Catherine G. Canino dedicates her work on this book to her parents, John and Kay Canino, who, like the others of their generation, were born in the midst of World War I, came of age in the Great Depression, and spent their early adulthood fighting in World War II. She owes her parents everything, and the world owes their generation everything. It is our privilege to remember the veterans, civilians, victims, heroes, and families from all over the world who sacrificed so much during both of these catastrophic world wars.
Dr. Olga V. Alexeeva is Associate Professor of Chinese History at the University of Quebec in Montreal (UQAM), Canada. Her current research focuses on the history of early Republican China with particular reference to Chinas involvement in World War I. She has written on a range of related topics pertaining to recruitment of the Chinese contract laborers and their employment in Europe during the war (https://uqam.academia.edu/olgaalexeeva). Her latest book, Les Chinois Saint-Ptersbourg. Histoire et portrait dune communaut en mutation (Qubec, PUQ, 2015), traces the origins of Chinese migration in Russia and situates these migrants within the broader context of Chinas global rise.
Catherine G. Canino is Professor of Shakespeare and Renaissance Studies at the English Department at the University of South Carolina Upstate. She received her PhD in Shakespearean Studies at Arizona State University in 1999. Catherines monograph, Shakespeare and the Nobility: The Negotiation of Lineage, was published by Cambridge University Press in 2008. In addition, she has published several academic articles on Shakespeare, Spenser, Skelton, and Milton. Catherine has recently published a book chapter in Recovering the Piedmont Past, distributed by University of South Carolina Press. The chapter is on Greek immigration and assimilation in Spartanburg, South Carolina. She is currently working on two book length projects. The first is a comparison of Early Modern England with Cold War America. The second is a study of Greece in World War II.
