On 26 August 1914 the worldfamous university library in the Belgian town of Louvain was looted and destroyed by German troops The international community reacted in horror and the behavior of the Germans at Louvain came to be seen as the beginning of a different style of war without the rules that had governed military conflict up to that pointa more total war in which enemy civilians and their entire culture were now legitimate targets As awardwinning historian Alan Kramer shows in this gripping and insightful volume the destruction at Louvain was simply one symbolic moment in a vast wave of cultural destruction and mass killing that swept across the map of Europe at the time of the First World War Using a wide range of examples and striking eyewitness accounts from England France Germany and elsewhere Kramer brings home the reality of the Great War painting a picture of an entire continent plunging into a chilling new world of mass mobilization total warfare and the celebration of nationalist or ethnic violenceoften directed expressly at the enemys civilian population Kramer examines the psychological impact of trench warfare addresses the question of German atrocities were the Germans particularly barbaric or was savage behavior common on all sides and offers a disturbing summation of the wars impact on European culture From the Western Front to the Balkans from Italy to the war in the East the First World War was the most apocalyptic the world had ever known This book tells you how and why the civilized nations of Europe descended into unprecedented orgy of destruction

Over 7000 people have been legally executed in the United States this century and over 3000 men and women now sit on death rows across the country awaiting the same fate Since the Supreme Court temporarily halted capital punishment in 1972 the death penalty has returned with a vengeance Today there appears to be a widespread public consensus in favor of capital punishment and considerable political momentum to ensure that those sentenced to death are actually executed Yet the death penalty remains troubling and controversial for many people The Killing State Capital Punishment in Law Politics and Culture explores what it means when the state kills and what it means for citizens to live in a killing state helping us understand why America clings tenaciously to a punishment that has been abandoned by every other industrialized democracyEdited by a leading figure in sociolegal studies this book brings together the work of ten scholars including recognized experts on the death penalty and noted scholars writing about it for the first time Focused more on theory than on advocacy these bracing essays open up new questions for scholars and citizens What is the relationship of the death penalty to the maintenance of political sovereignty In what ways does the death penalty resemble and enable other forms of laws violence How is capital punishment portrayed in popular culture How does capital punishment express the new politics of crime organize positions in the culture war and affect the structure of American values This book is a timely examination of a vitally important topic the impact of state killing on our law our politics and our cultural life
