“An absorbing look at the way in which images and memories of war have emerged and endured during this century . . .Instructive, informative and undoubtedly sad. A thought-provoking work.” ―Ships Telegraph
“A welcome addition to the growing number of books which consider the wider social, cultural and political implications of warfare in the twentieth century.” ―Stephen Croad, Independent Member of the National War Memorials Inventory Committee
“The collection is to be commended for the high quality of its contribution which provide persuasive evidence of how the memory of past conflict infiltrates and colours present culture.
