The First World War was a turning point in the history of humanity. It had an impact on socio-cultural and economic life and also on international relations. It also triggered numerous discussions and debates on the moral, ethical, psychological, political and historical aspects of war. It was also an event that consolidated military strategies. The centenary of this catastrophic event is perhaps,the most opportune time to re-visit the incident and re-assess the war from new perspectives. This book is a reflection of this re-examination and a record of the contemporary inter-disciplinary academic engagements with the various facets of the war.
