Review Quotes: "A profound and engrossing meditation on historical memory and national commemoration. It is so skillfully composed and illustrated with such striking examples that I read it in a single sitting, like a murder mystery--except that the question here is not 'who done it' but 'how do we reckon with what was done?'"--Michael Walzer, author of On Toleration
