Description - Grafting Memory by Bill Lipke

The is a well-researched, profusely-illustrated history of war memorials and cemeteries, dating from the 19th C. to today in the U.S., Canada, and the United Kingdom. The book examines how the American Civil War and the Great War of 1914-1918 launched new practices for honoring the dead as individuals, and how monuments and memorial landscapes have been used for nation-building. We also examined how countless streams of private grief have joined the main stem of public mourning.
