Firearms have been studied by imperial historians mainly as means of human destruction and material production. Yet firearms have always been invested with a whole array of additional social and symbolical meanings. By placing these meanings at the centre of analysis, the essays presented in this volume extend the study of the gun beyond the confines of military history and the examination of its impact on specific colonial encounters. By bringing cultural perspectives to bear on this most pervasive of technological artefacts, the contributors explore the densely interwoven relationships between firearms and broad processes of social change. In so doing, they contribute to a fuller understanding of some of the most significant consequences of British and American imperial expansions. Not the least original feature of the book is its global frame of reference. Bringing together historians of different periods and regions, A Cultural History of Firearms in the Age of Empire overcomes traditional compartmentalisations of historical knowledge and encourages the drawing of novel and illuminating comparisons across time and space.
Friedrich, a young Jewish chemist and talented pianist in pre-WWI Germany is sent to England on an espionage mission he doesnt take seriously. Between affairs with various girls, he forms friendships with composers George Butterworth (Meadowfield) and Vaughan-Williams. Forced to flee back to Germany as WWI looms, he joins the Wehrmacht as a sniper. Much about war in the trenches at the Battle of the Somme. Monck unknowingly kills his friend Meadowfield at and is taken prisoner himself. He is sheltered by a former girlfriend (who has borne his child) at his POW camp in the UK. After the war, they marry and return to Germany until in 1933, Monck, as a Jew, is dispossessed of property and work. His wife and child return to England while Friedrich is humiliated by his Nazi masters. He is sent to Theresienstadt (Terezin) and thence to Auschwitz (Buna). He is rescued from the Death March away from the approaching Russians. He returns to his wife in England where he falls ill and mentally scarred. He is unable to settle in the knowledge that his wife has fallen in love with an American major. Then he also discovers that it was he, himself, who shot his great friend George Meadowfield at the Battle of the Somme in WWI. He returns to a shattered Germany to try to recover his family property (with the aid of the same US major) and then to end it all, but meets once more the closet Jewish wife of the German adjutant at Theresienstadt, saves her from a Russian firing squad, and decides to live with her.
