Memory and Mythology: Modern War and the Construction of Historical Memory , 1775 - 2000

Author: 

Starostina, Natalia; Editor

Credentials: 

Ph.D, D/History, Young Harris College

The volume provides a rare opportunity to launch a dialogue among historians working on the theme by examining different societies and chronological periods. It is often a case that the studies of the construction of memory of wars are geographically bound to specific countries. Such a focus narrows a historical inquiry to the experience of a single nation or a region and hinders a dialogue among historians.
