Anneca Posted 16 November , 2014 Share Posted 16 November , 2014 Does a list of titles of books that have been published relating to the Great War exist, either by title or author? Anne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dust Jacket Collector Posted 16 November , 2014 Share Posted 16 November , 2014 A. G. S. Enser " A Subject Bibliography of the First World War" published in 1979, though now dated and riddled with errors does list some 5,800 titles. Lengel's 'World War 1 Memories' from 2004 is very useful as it comments on each book & good old Cyril Falls 'War Books' of 1930 is still a good read.

Anneca Posted 16 November , 2014 Author Share Posted 16 November , 2014 (edited) Very good Mike but I wonder how many more have been published since 1922. I had made a note of some for my wish list for Christmas over the past months - the cat ate it and now I can only remember 6 out of perhaps 14. Anne Forgot to say the first one on my list was The Truce: The Day the War Stopped. Edited 16 November , 2014 by anneca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kate Wills Posted 16 November , 2014 Share Posted 16 November , 2014 The cat ate it? In a lifetime spent co-habiting with cats, books and scribbled notes, I have never experienced this. They have weed and thrown-up on notes, but never eaten them. To answer your question Anne, you could run searches on the IWM's book holdings, the British Library catalogue, and Google books. The Turner-Donovan lists are also absorbing, and not just for feline body fluids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue Light Posted 16 November , 2014 Share Posted 16 November , 2014 I remember a couple of years ago I looked into this a for something I was doing, and found that even there there were at least 28,000 individual works published since the end of the war. Must be many more by now. Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seaJane Posted 16 November , 2014 Share Posted 16 November , 2014 Try http://www.copac.ac.uk/search Subject: World War, 1914-1918 Year: 1974- [or whatever year is your cut-off, but remember to put the - immediately after]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anneca Posted 16 November , 2014 Author Share Posted 16 November , 2014 Thank you seaJane - brilliant site and I reckon I'll find them there as I can remember some of the title words. Sue, even the 28,000 a few years ago shows the interest in the Great War. Thank you as well Kate.............and to explain, this precious list had been mistakenly crumpled up in a ball for the cat to play with and what he didn't eat he shredded! (I really do like the witty 'absorbing' lists to which you refer!) Anne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
