Reviews
... the great value of this well-illustrated study is the methodology it devises to capture the elusive: the juxtaposition of collective sites of remembrance with individual memory. As such, it is a valuable addition to the library of any individual interested in commemoration, memory, and masculinity in the wake of war. Journal of British Studies The strength of this book lies in the broad range of material that traces the history of commemoration, the origins of the Cenotaph and other memorials, as well as the class roots and dominance of these initiatives. This material enables us to inquire into the intentions behind such initiatives. National Identities What is really admirable about this book is its deployment of an ambitious range of themes and sources. Many of these themes have of course been written about before, but there is a lot of fascinating new material here, and it is the weaving together in a consistent web of argument which makes them fresh and interesting, not to mention the many intriguing digressions found on the way.
