The international community reacted in horror - 'Holocaust at Louvain' proclaimed the Daily Mail - and the behaviour of the Germans at Louvain came to be seen as the beginning of a different style of war, without the rules that had governed military conflict up to that point - a more total war, in which enemy civilians and their entire culture were now 'legitimate' targets. Yet the destruction at Louvain was simply one symbolic moment in a wider wave of cultural destruction.Making of the modern world (Oxford University Press)Culture and mass killing in the First World WarWorld War, 1914-1918Destruction and pillageWorld War, 1914-1918AtrocitiesWar crimesWorld War, 1914-1918Destruction and pillage.World War, 1914-1918Atrocities.War crimes.940.405Kramer Alan1954-301338MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910806216703321Dynamic of destruction715953UNINA
