Opis

Love and Death in the Great War merges the stories of several American families with analysis of wartime popular culture. It argues that family, in lived experience and as symbolic motivator, gave the war meaning, recovering the conflict's personal dimensions. But that narrative had undergone transformative challenges by war's end.

Recenzje

Love and Death in the Great War is a well-written, insightful, and cogent telling of wartime culture in America during World War I, and it makes a significant contribution to an understanding of the presence, power, and permanency of such crucial concepts as love and family as well as their complex and interwoven relationship with World War I... Students, scholars, and general readers alike should all profit from reading Huebner's vivid telling of and cogent analysis about such a critical moment in American history.
