Though persistently overshadowed by the Great War in historical memory, the two Balkan conflicts of 1912-1913 were among the most consequential of the early 20th century. Bringing together an international group of scholars, this volume applies the social and cultural insights of the "new military history" to revisit this critical episode.
Together comprising one of the first modern conflicts of the twentieth century, the Balkan Wars (1912-13) served as precursors of the bloody wars to follow. This volume offers a fascinating exploration of the wars' history, with a central focus on the experiences of both combatants and civilians.
