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. 606 $aArt and war 606 $aWar and literature 606 $aWar in art 606 $aWar in literature 606 $aWar films$xHistory and criticism 606 $aArts and morals 615 0$aArt and war. 615 0$aWar and literature. 615 0$aWar in art. 615 0$aWar in literature. 615 0$aWar films$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aArts and morals. 676 $a700/.458 700 $aDanchev$b Alex$01673177 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910828824403321 996 $aOn art and war and terror$94048323 997 $aUNINA
