Focusing on some of the conflicts that have shaped the 20th century and how they have changed national and international politics ever since, this collection of eight facsimile editions contains titles from our imprints The Athlone Press, Pinter, Mansell and Continuum.

Going beyond the mere analysis of military strategies and developments, these books address the political repercussions of war, the propaganda involved in shaping a nation's acceptance or rejection of military actions, the attitudes minorities face during wartime and the role of religion in instigating or resolving conflicts.

All titles are available as set or as individual volumes. Titles include:
