The glorious or honorable element of the age of nationalism was transformed into a rather dunning one, while peace movements demanded an end of war itself. To analyze these changes and to show how war was remembered after the end of the Second World War, the present volume assembles the work of international specialists who deal with this particular question from different national and international perspectives. The contributions analyze the role of soldiers, perpetrators, and victims of different conflicts, including the Second World War. They show which motivational settings led to the erection of war memorials reflecting the values and historical traditions of the second half of the 20th and the 21st centuries. Thus, this interdisciplinary volume explores how war is commemorated and how its actors and victims are perceived around the globe.War (Hi) Stories ;4.War memorialsEuropeWar memorialsAsiaWorld War, 1939-1945War memorialsUnited StatesElectronic books.War memorialsWar memorialsWorld War, 1939-1945.War memorials940.5465Jacob FrankPearl Kenneth1963-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910511759303321War and memorials2550671UNINA
