Total War Comes to the Fatherland:The German Home Front, 1914-1918

In this 12th lecture in the series Dr. Stephenson will trace the evolution of the German Empire from material wealth, unity, and national resolve to starvation, despair, and revolution. He will also consider the bitter legacy of the home front experience for the Weimar Republic and, ultimately, Hitler’s Third Reich.

Join us Sept. 20 for this 12th lecture in the series.

Dr. Scott Stephenson served 25 years as an Army officer, retiring in 2001. He has a bachelor’s degree from the United States Military Academy, a master’s in history from Syracuse University, and a doctorate in history from the University of Kansas.

His book, The Final Battle: Soldiers of the Western Front and the German Revolution of 1918, won the 2010 Tomlinson Prize for Best Book in English on World War I. He currently teaches military history at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth.
