520			_aMaksudyan approaches the experience of World War I in the Ottoman lands from the perspective of social history, focusing on how total mobilization altered the "lives behind the lines" through the testimony of children. She discusses how issues like lack of education, work force shortages, economic dire straits, ethnic hatred, and nationalism affected children's lives, and how these were partially shaped by the children themselves. Ultimately, Maksudyan demonstrates that children, rather than being passive victims or casualties, were engaged in every facet of war.
