World War I marked the first war in which the United States government and military took full responsibility for the identification, burial, and memorialization of those killed in battle, and as a result, the process of burying and remembering the dead became intensely political. The government and military attempted to create a patriotic consensus on the historical memory of World War I in which war dead were not only honored but used as a symbol to legitimize America?s participation in a war not fully supported by all citizens.The saga of American soldiers killed in World War I and the efforts of the living to honor them is a neglected component of United States military history, and in this fascinating yet often macabre account, Lisa M. Budreau unpacks the politics and processes of the competing interest groups involved in the three core components of commemoration: repatriation, remembrance, and return. She also describes how relatives of the fallen made pilgrimages to French battlefields, attended largely by American Legionnaires and the Gold Star Mothers, a group formed by mothers of sons killed in World War I, which exists to this day. Throughout, and with sensitivity to issues of race and gender, Bodies of War emphasizes the inherent tensions in the politics of memorialization and explores how those interests often conflicted with the needs of veterans and relatives. 606 $aPolitical culture$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aWar memorials$xSocial aspects$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aWar memorials$xPolitical aspects$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$xMonuments$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y1919-1933 607 $aUnited States$xSocial conditions$y1918-1932 610 $aAmerican. 610 $aBudreau. 610 $aLisa. 610 $aStates. 610 $aUnited. 610 $aWorld. 610 $aaccount. 610 $acommemoration. 610 $acompeting. 610 $acomponent. 610 $acomponents. 610 $acore. 610 $aefforts. 610 $afascinating. 610 $agroups. 610 $ahistory. 610 $ahonor. 610 $ainterest. 610 $ainvolved. 610 $akilled. 610 $aliving. 610 $amacabre. 610 $amilitary. 610 $aneglected. 610 $aoften. 610 $apolitics. 610 $aprocesses. 610 $aremembrance. 610 $arepatriation. 610 $areturn. 610 $asaga. 610 $asoldiers. 610 $athem. 610 $athis. 610 $athree. 610 $aunpacks. 615 0$aPolitical culture$xHistory 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918$xSocial aspects 615 0$aWar memorials$xSocial aspects$xHistory 615 0$aWar memorials$xPolitical aspects$xHistory 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918$xMonuments 676 $a940.4/60973 700 $aBudreau$b Lisa M.$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01568457 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788372403321 996 $aBodies of War$93840600 997 $aUNINA
