While mostly about World War I and World War II, the last chapter is on music dealing with the threat of World War III in light of the bombings of Hiroshima/Nagasaki, which was helpful with my war protest music research.

Brian Murdoch traces the story's probable origins in medieval England or France, and its later appearance in versions from Iceland and Ireland to Iraq and Egypt, in verse and prose, in full-scale literary forms or in much-reduced folktales, in theological as well as secular contexts, down to Thomas Mann and beyond.
