Synopsis
Why are some battles remembered more than others? Surprisingly, it is not just size that matters, nor the number of dead, the 'decisiveness' of battles or their effects on communities and civilisations. It is their political afterlife - the multiple meanings and political uses attributed to them - that determines their fame., A Brisk March Through Some of The Most Famous Battlefields in European history. Follow the myths and memories which have turned armed Conflicts and The Sacrifice of Life Into Catalysts of Solidarity and Collective Identity. Learn which battles of the ancient, mediaeval and modern worlds Have Become Famous and Why We Still Remember Them. See how the ancient Greek, Roman and Hebrew wars have become Embedded In European Culture Shaping The Way We Have Defined Our Modern Wars and The Taking Up of Arms. Explore in film, cartoons, paintings, public monuments and Memorial Ceremonies, European Ideas About War and Peace. Immerse yourself in the heat of battle and imagine being on the Side of Victory, But Also Defeat. Book jacket., Why are some battles remembered more than others? Surprisingly, it is not just size that matters, nor the number of dead, the 'decisiveness' of battles or their effects on communities and civilisations. It is their political afterlife - the multiple meanings and political uses attributed to them - that determines their fame. This ground-breaking series goes well beyond military history by exploring the transformation of battles into sites of memory and meaning. Cast into epic myths of the fight of Good against Evil, of punishment for decadence or reward for virtue, of the birth of a nation or the collective assertion against a tyrant, the defense of Civilisation against the Barbarians, Christendom against the Infidel, particular battles have acquired fame beyond their immediate contemporaneous relevance. The great battles of modern history examined in this second volume range from the defeat of the Armada and the relief of Vienna, to Chatham, Culloden, Waterloo, Gettysburg, the Somme and Stalingrad. In each chapter, the historical events surrounding a battle form the backdrop for multiple later interpretations, which, consciously or unconsciously, carry political agendas, some for further bloodshed and sacrifice, but others for the more recent and laudable phenomenon of reconciliation over the graves of the dead.
