The essays in Anticipating Total War explore the discourse on war in Germany and the United States between 1871 and 1914. The concept of total war provides the analytical focus. The essays reveal vigorous discussions of warfare in several forums among soldiers, statesmen, women's groups, and educators on both sides of the Atlantic. Predictions of long, cataclysmic wars were not uncommon in these discussions, while the involvement of German and American soldiers in colonial warfare suggested that future combat would not spare civilians. Despite these anticipations of total war, virtually no one realized the practical implications in planning for war in the early twentieth century.
