Europe on the move

Mass population displacement affected millions of Europe's civilians across the different theatres of war in 1914-18. At the end of the war a senior Red Cross official wrote 'there were refugees everywhere. It was as if the entire world had to move or was waiting to move'. <i>Europe on the move</i><i> </i>is the first attempt to understand their experiences as a whole and to establish the political social and cultural significance and ramifications of the wartime refugee crisis. Drawing on original research by leading specialists from more than a dozen countries it will become the definitive work on the subject and will appeal to anyone who wishes to understand how governments and public opinion responded to refugees a century ago.
