Description

An examination of private narratives of loss in wartime and publicly legitimized forms of grieving. Drawing on sources such as diaries, poetry and weblogs and using gender as an analytic category, the book looks at men’s and women’s experiences of war ‘at home’ and ‘at the front’ and spans the two World Wars, the Vietnam War and the war in Iraq.
