"Between 1914 and 1954, the Ukrainian-speaking territories in East Central Europe
suffered almost 15 million "excess deaths" as well as numerous large-scale evacuations
and forced population transfers. These losses were the devastating consequences of
the two world wars, revolutions, famines, genocidal campaigns, and purges that wracked
Europe in the first half of the twentieth century and spread new ideas, created new
political and economic systems, and crafted new identities. In Total Wars and the
Making of Modern Ukraine, 1914-1954, George O. Liber argues that the continuous violence
of the world wars and interwar years transformed the Ukrainian-speaking population
of East Central Europe into self-conscious Ukrainians. Wars, mass killings, and forced
modernization drives made and re-made Ukraine's boundaries, institutionalized its
national identities, and pruned its population according to various state-sponsored
political, racial, and social ideologies. In short, the two world wars, the Holodomor,
and the Holocaust played critical roles in forming today's Ukraine. A landmark study
of the terrifying scope and paradoxical consequences of mass violence in Europe's
bloodlands, Liber's book will transform our understanding of the entangled histories
of Ukraine, the USSR, Germany, and East Central Europe in the twentieth century."
