The Great War in European Cultural History by Jay Winter

1) After reading the first part of Winter’s introduction, explain in some detail, and in your own words, what you see as the main focus of his work, i.e. what is the story he is trying to tell?2) Using evidence from Winter’s work (meaning citations, direct quotes), elaborate the central idea or argument he makes in each of his first four chapters. For example, what is the “big idea” around which each chapter is organized?3) Again, citing evidence, explain which of Winter’s arguments you found most compelling or persuasive, and which you found unconvincing or unpersuasive. Explain in detail.4) Finally, in your own words, explain something you learned from Winter’s work about the war that is new, something you were unaware of, or unfamiliar with, that you found important. Again, explain in detail.
