Author blurb: The book combines art and politics in an original way. It uses art of various kinds (paintings poems novels photographs films) to explore war; it demonstrates how art can do this. It ranges across the wars of the last century from the Great War to the Global War on Terror. It is alive to the idea of moral life even amid depravity and destruction. It is written in a distinctive style which is said to have some affinities with the work of John Berger. It has one foot in scholarship the other in magic arts.On Art & War & TerrorArt and warWar and literatureWar in artWar in literatureWar filmsHistory and criticismArts and moralsArt and war.War and literature.War in art.War in literature.War filmsHistory and criticism.Arts and morals.700/.458Danchev Alex1479241UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910780841403321On art and war and terror3868838UNINA
