{"product_id":"9780253301369","title":"The Great Adventure : Male Desire and the Coming of World War I","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 1914 Europe descended into a slaughter unlike anything that had been seen before. Yet, far from seeing the conflict as a tragedy, many men welcomed it as a healthy development for society, a relief from peace. The Great Adventure explores the intellectual trends that made war seem a natural and high expression of social values. This is not a book about the specific causes of World War I, but a study of the mood in which it could take place. \n\u003cbr\u003e What the book uncovers is a complex of deeply ingrained attitudes about manhood, sex, power, maturity, boredom, and war that defined a culture in which war came to be seen as a positive option. Although the book focuses on attitudes in Great Britain and the United States of nearly a century ago, it makes a remarkably contemporary statement about men, women, and the culture of war., reviewing a previous edition or volume\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Indiana University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48662359343339,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":91.46,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9780253301369-1.jpg?v=1785759242","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/ja\/products\/9780253301369","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
