This book explores the cultural imprint of military conflict on metropolises worldwide in the First and Second World Wars. It brings together cultural and urban historians and scholars of anthropology, education, geography, and urban planning, and examines how the emergence of 'total' warfare blurred the boundaries between home and front and transformed cities into battlefields. The central contention of this volume, that total war in the twentieth century has a significant but often overlooked metropolitan dimension, is addressed, filling a gap in the currently available literature.
