Reviews
"This rich collection ranges over two hundred years of predominantly British military history and war writing to consider which languages, symbols, and forms of sacrifice have operated to explain, rationalize, or critique war violence ... a clear picture emerges of the contradictions within imperial rhetoric and a stringent critique of British policy from within, even at times by those held to be enthusiasts of empire." -- Holly Furneaux, Modern Philology, This rich collection ranges over two hundred years of predominantly British military history and war writing to consider which languages, symbols, and forms of sacrifice have operated to explain, rationalize, or critique war violence ... a clear picture emerges of the contradictions within imperial rhetoric and a stringent critique of British policy from within, even at times by those held to be enthusiasts of empire.
