Description
The Great War and Our Modern Memory The First World War memorials in Britain stand as landmarks to a defining period in British history. Yet, one which is in danger of slipping away from popular memory. This book reveals the untold stories behind these lists of names, exploring the impact of World War One on British society. The war was more than just a conflict overseas - it was a catalyst for rapid and radical change to the social, cultural and political fabric of the nation. The state took drastic measures to cope with the turmoil, laying the foundations for the society in which we live today. From revolutionised social restrictions on women to the upheaval of traditional family roles, the echoes of this period can still be felt. By examining the stories behind these memorials, Neil Oliver sheds new light on a pivotal moment in British history, one that continues to shape our world today.
