Though largely invisible in histories of the First World War, over??550,000 men in the ranks of the Indian army were non-combatants. From the porters, stevedores and construction workers in the Coolie Corps to those who maintained supply lines and removed the wounded from the battlefield, Radhika Singha recovers the story of this unacknowledged service. The labor regimes built on the backs of these 'coolies' sustained the military infrastructure of empire; their deployment in interregional arenas bent to the demands of global war. Viewed as racially subordinate and subject to 'non-martial' caste designations, they fought back against their status, using the warring powers' need for manpower as leverage to challenge traditional service hierarchies and wage differentials. The Coolie's Great War views that global conflict through the lens of Indian labor, constructing a distinct geography of the war--from tribal settlements and colonial jails, beyond India's frontiers, to the battlefronts of France and Mesopotamia.

Since World War I, says Joseph McCartin, the central problem of American labor relations has been the struggle among workers, managers, and state officials to reconcile democracy and authority in the workplace. In his comprehensive look at labor issues during the decade of the Great War, McCartin explores the political, economic, and social forces that gave rise to this conflict and shows how rising labor militancy and the sudden erosion of managerial control in wartime workplaces combined to create an industrial crisis. The search for a resolution to this crisis led to the formation of an influential coalition of labor Democrats, AFL unionists, and Progressive activists on the eve of U.S. entry into the war. Though the coalition's efforts in pursuit of industrial democracy were eventually frustrated by powerful forces in business and government and by internal rifts within the movement itself, McCartin shows how the shared quest helped cement the ties between unionists and the Democratic Party that would subsequently shape much New Deal legislation and would continue to influence the course of American political and labor history to the present day.

Warfare has always been manpower intensive. Apart from the large number of combatant troops, many more personnel are required to keep the military force operating. These personnel are involved in the manufacture of materials, movement of supplies such as ammunition and food, building and maintenance of camps, mending and cleaning equipment, manning headquarters and training establishments, building railways, recovery of the dead and wounded , and many other tasks. From 1917 British soldiers who were unfit or too old for front line service were to serve unarmed and within the range of German guns for weeks or even months at a time undertaking these tasks. The vital, yet largely unreported role played by these men was crucial to achieving victory in 1918. Labour units were seen as a poor relative of the Army, made up of the old, unfit and foreigners. The majority of the men were non-combatant. At the time, and since, they have not been given the recognition they deserved. Their work may not have been glamorous but can be summed up in four words - No Labour, No battle. For this book John Starling and Ivor Lee have brought together extensive research from both primary and secondary sources. They trace how military labour developed from an ad hoc loose arrangement in 1914 to a Corps in November 1918 some 400,000 strong, supported by dominion and foreign labour of more than a million men. Conscientious objectors were also used to supplement labour numbers. Detailing the work of the Corps as far afield as Russia, East Africa and Mesopotamia, the many types of work they were required to do, and the role of prisoners of war, No Labour, No Battle is a unique record of the part played by Labour in the First World War and in its immediate aftermath. Following the war, the grim and solemn work of clearing battlefields and constructing cemeteries fell of course to the newly formed Labour Corps. This book therefore continues the story up until disbandment of the Corps.

This innovative study by one of the leading specialists in the field examines the social and economic role of the German army in the nation's internal affairs during the First World War. This was the area in which the influence of the army was most direct and profound. Germany's wartime economic mobilisation was both planned and directed by the army, and as a consequence of this largely unanticipated responsibility, the army was compelled to cope with the great social conflicts of Imperial Germany. In the process of confronting the groups representing army and labour, the army paved the way for the establishment of collective bargaining in Germany and also created the foundations for the postwar inflation.

The Chinese Labour Corps were the 'coolies' recruited for menial tasks supporting the BEF in the Great War. 96,000 went to France - 2,000 died. This is a fascinating - if deeply patronising - portrait of them by one of their British officers.

This study is the first thorough analysis of the extent of the opposition to the Great War in Wales, and is the most extensive study of the anti-war movement in any part of Britain. It is, therefore, a significant contribution to our understanding of people’s responses to the conflict, and the difficulty of mobilising the population for total war. The anti-war movement in Wales and beyond developed quickly from the initial shock of the declaration of war, to the civil disobedience of anti-war activists and the industrial discontent excited by the Russian Revolution and experienced in areas such as the south Wales coalfield in 1917. The differing responses to the war within Wales are explored in this book, which charts how the pacifist tradition of nineteenth-century Welsh Nonconformity was quickly overturned. The two main elements of the anti-war movement are analysed in depth: the pacifist religious opposition, the Fellowship of Reconciliation, and the Nonconformist dissidents who were particularly influential in north and west Wales; and the political opposition concentrated in the Independent Labour Party and among the radical left within the South Wales Miners’ Federation.

This book is a comparative study of national labour movements in France and Britain during the First World War. Horne focuses on the majorities in both the French and the British labour movements which continued to support the war to its end. He examines the terms of their support and the broader working-class experience which this reflected, showing how a critical program of socialist reforms was gradually developed as the price of labour collaboration.
