The chapters raise fascinating questions about war and memory: Why are wars remembered as they are? What factors drive changes in public perception?

The volume is divided into three sections focusing on political evolution, negotiated memories of war, and national pride and covers international wars from Afghanistan to Vietnam and German deserter monuments to Vietnamese war tourism.
