Defending Neutrality
The small neutral states of Europe have until now only marginally been included in the historiography of the First World War.

How did the country prepare itself militarily and how did these preparations differ from the way the warring states adjusted to the reality of modern, total war?

This volume analyses technological innovation, intelligence and ideas on the societal and political impact of modern warfare in The Netherlands before, during and after the Great War.
