Review Quotes: 'In this book a practising architect surveys the history of the design, the construction and the use of war memorials and monuments to the victims of war over the last century. A strikingly original study of the visualisation of memory, this book is essential reading for all those engaged in the cultural history of war and peace in our times.'
