The present article aims to introduce Emil Lederer (1882-1939) and the main ideas of his essay "On the sociology of the World War". Written in January 1915 this text contains a surprisingly unbiased and unique analysis of the war. Lederer deals with the topics of war technology, army organization and social structure, discusses the relationship between state and society and describes social and economic conditions of modern war. The key elements of his argumentation are the existence of universal conscription and the dual character of the modern democratic states.

Keywords: Emil Lederer, World War I, sociology of war, dual state, universal conscription
