| Abstract
|
:
|
Proposing a return to the original ideas of Remembrance, and suggesting many changes to the modern-day spectacle, this book is a powerful polemic on how our ideas of heroism, duty, and grief have lost their way. The text calls for a re-focusing of Remembrance from its divisive tradition to a more uniting and appropriate observance
