War memorials as political landscape : the American experience and beyond / James M. Mayo.

New York : Praeger, 1988.

xvi, 306 pages : illustrations ; 25 cm

War Memorials as Political Landscape critiques the social meaning of war memorials and their role in political and historical landscapes. Mayo argues that war memorials not only reflect the political history of a nation, but also that these memorials are mechanisms to symbolize and justify history. He posits that the presence or absence of commemoration for America's wars is largely explained by the war's importance in establishing the nation's symbolic identity as a political state and by the number of those who died in that war. -- Amazon.com.
