Review Quotes: "A stimulating addition to the literature on the intersection between memory and history, this collection is an intelligent and robust engagement with issues that simply won't go away. One of its advantages is that it takes seriously the need to sharpen the conceptual tools we need to handle a subject as protean as memory."--Jay Winter, author of Sites of Memory, Sites of Mourning: The Great War in European Cultural History
