There have been many efforts to explain the outbreak of war in, but few from so intimate a perspective as LeBons, He examines such questions as why German scholars tried to deny Germanys obvious guilt in the war, and what explained the remarkable resolve of the French army to persevere in the face of unprecedented adversity.
To such questions, LeBon proposes answers built upon principles well articulated in the larger body of his work, He transforms the character of the debate by demonstrating how psychological principles explain persuasively both the causes of German academic ignominy and the origins of French valor.
Convinced as he was that only psychology could illuminate collective behavior, LeBon dismisses purely economic or political interpretations as ill conceived and inadequate precisely because they fail to appreciate the role of psychology in the collective behavior of national statesmen, prominent scholars, and ordinary soldiers.
The Psychology of the Great War provides a bridge to study both crowd behavior and battlefield behavior by illustrating how ordinary

people are transformed into savages by great events.
This element in LeBons thinking influenced Georges Sorels thinking, as he had seen the same phenomenon in those who participated in general strikes and revolutions.
And in a later period and different context, Hannah Arendt gave this strange capacity of the ordinary to be transformed into the extraordinary the name banality of evil.
The book will be of interest to social theorists, psychologists concerned with group behavior, and historians of the period, .
