Remembering War by Jay Winter
Provides a volume on remembrance and war in the 20th-century. This book locates the fascination with the subject of memory within a long-term trajectory that focuses on the Great War and the Holocaust. It has images, languages, and practices that appeared during and after the two world wars focused on the need to acknowledge the victims of war."In a characteristically vigorous and insightful manner, Jay Winter takes up one of the most influential issues of contemporary cultural comment and academic debate—memory and its relationship with historyThe result is highly original and the fruit of thirty years' reflection on the subject. This book will stand alone as the contribution by a leading historian of the Great War to the field."—John Horne, Trinity College, Dublin
