UNUFA Modern History Library: Public Domain Sources on Modern History
How does a modern reader begin with 91 public-domain books spanning revolutions, social history, biography, and global events? This catalogue is arranged not by author or date but by the questions you might bring to it: What drives social change? How do ordinary lives intersect with power? Where do personal accounts and major conflicts meet? Four thematic categories—Revolutions, Modern Nations, Social History, and World Events—provide entry points. Each group overlaps, so a single work can appear in more than one context. Start with a broad question, then use the category pages to locate related titles and alternative perspectives. The mix deliberately pairs well-known historical narratives with less familiar writing, offering multiple vantage points on the 19th and 20th centuries.

Modern Nations
War Dogs of the World War — Text...
Authored by Authors: Anderson, John I., 'War Dogs of the World War — Text...' stands as a notable and significant work within the Modern Nations category. This 1919 booklet by John I. Anderson focuses on the training and use of dogs in World War I, centering on the Blue Cross Society of France and Countess Mary Yourkevitch. Excerpts detail sled dogs in Alaska and a dramatic rescue in the French Alps, but the catalog subject 'World War, 1914-1918' is addressed through specific anecdotes rather than a comprehensive history. Discover the unique thematic elements that make this specific work highly regarded.
