The War Complex : World War II In Our Time

Attribution
Marianna TorgovnickPublication Details
BookUniversity of Chicago Press2005Links
Description
The recent dedication of the World War II memorial and the sixtieth-anniversary commemoration of D-Day remind us of the hold that World War II still has over America’s sense of itself. Showing how different events from World War II became prominent in American cultural memory while others went forgotten or remain hidden in plain sight, The War Complex moves deftly from war films and historical works to television specials and popular magazines to define the image and influence of World War II in our time.

Wartime : Understanding And Behavior In The Second World War

Attribution
Paul FussellPublication Details
BookOxford University Press1989Description
Winner of both the National Book Award for Arts and Letters and the National Book Critics Circle Award for Criticism, Paul Fussell’s The Great War and Modern Memory was one of the most original and gripping volumes ever written about the First World War. Frank Kermode, in The New York Times Book Review, hailed it as “an important contribution to our understanding of how we came to make World War I part of our minds,” and Lionel Trilling called it simply “one of the most deeply moving books I have read in a long time.” Whereas his former book focused primarily on literary figures, on the image of the Great War in literature, here Fussell examines the immediate impact of the war on common soldiers and civilians.
