New World War I Sourcebook

Christine Goodchild, one of the librarians on the Danvers campus, has informed me that the library has purchased Empires, Soldiers, and Citizens: A World War I Sourcebook, edited by Marilyn Shevin-Coetzee and Frans Coetzee (Wiley-Blackwell, 2013). 

It is a comprehensive collection of primary source material  that represents political, social and economic aspects of the war. The collection also features chapters on the war as it was fought in Asia and Africa.

If you come across books you believe would be good additions to the library's collection, feel free to email the title to me. If it is not available in print, we can try to buy a digital version.
