War and Remembrance in the Twentieth Century (Studies in the Social and Cultural History of Modern Warfare)
Editorial Reviews
Review
'... this is precisely the kind of broad, comparative volume which scholars of the Holocaust should be reading.' Journal of Holocaust Education
Book Description
Drawing on material from Europe, America and the Middle East, leading scholars of twentieth century history address the issue of how wars, and the loss of life in wars, have been remembered collectively in the aftermath of conflicts such as the First and Second World Wars, the Spanish Civil War and the Algerian War. However, rather than focus on whole societies or ruling groups alone, this volume adopts a "social agency" approach to highlight the behavior of small groups and individuals who do the work of remembrance.
