About the book

Paul Fussell's The Great War and Modern Memory examines how the First World War reshaped literature, language and cultural memory. The book draws on soldiers' memoirs, poetry and letters to explore the gap between traditional heroic ideas of war and the brutal reality of industrial combat. It became a landmark study of how conflict changes the way societies understand themselves.
