Opis

In this searing and controversial polemic, esteemed American journalist David Rieff argues against our passion for the past. He looks at how memory serves nationalistic history every ANZAC Day and annual pilgrimage to Gallipoli, and at its worst, how memory of past horrors inflame deep-seated ethnic hatreds, violence and wars.
