Customer Reviews

worthy of both a general and academic readership

This book is full of lucid essays on many different aspects of the war: its conduct, its effects, the way it has been memorialized, the way it has been remembered/depicted in the arts, etc. A very broad-ranging set of considerations written in readable (not "academic," jargon-filled) prose. Worth the money for anyone interested in the war.
