Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Paperback. In the age of industrial war, human beings became another resource to be produced, consumed, and replaced.From the muddy fields of the Somme and the attrition of Verdun, to the nine-hundred-day siege of Leningrad, the firestorms of Tokyo, the systematic starvation of millions, and the final destruction of Berlin, Considered Expendable examines what happened when modern states turned the full power of factories, bureaucracies, railroads, and weapons against entire populations.This is not a conventional military history of battles won and lost. It is an unflinching account of war at its most extreme-what it did to soldiers ordered to walk into machine-gun fire, to civilians trapped in sieges and blockades, to prisoners worked and starved to death, and to children caught in the machinery of total war. Drawing on letters, diaries, eyewitness testimony, and the best available scholarship, each chapter returns to the ground level: the smell of cordite, the cries of the wounded, and the cold calculations of commanders who treated lives as arithmetic.From the Pals Battalions erased on the first morning of the Somme, to the deliberate sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff with thousands of civilian refugees aboard, to the firebombing campaigns that consumed Japan's cities, Knowles traces the shared logic that made these horrors possible: the industrialization of destruction itself.Written in plain, declarative prose that lets the facts carry their own weight, this substantial work confronts the true character of twentieth-century war-the point at which entire societies organized themselves for slaughter on a scale never before imagined, and where the dead, the maimed, and the starved became the ordinary output of the system.For readers of Antony Beevor, Max Hastings, and Richard Overy, Considered Expendable is essential reading: a sobering account of what industrial war looks like when allowed to run its course, and a powerful reminder of the individuals behind the statistics.
