Death in war matters. It matters to the individual, threatened with
their own death, or the death of loved ones. It matters to groups
and communities who have to find ways to manage death, to support
the bereaved and to dispose of bodies amidst the confusion of
conflict. It matters to the state, which has to find ways of coping
with mass death that convey a sense of gratitude and respect for
the sacrifice of both the victims of war, and those that mourn in
their wake. This social and cultural history of Britain in the
Second World War places death at the heart of our understanding of
the British experience of conflict. Drawing on a range of material,
Dying for the nation demonstrates just how much death matters in
wartime and examines the experience, management and memory of
death. It will appeal to anyone with an interest in the social and
cultural history of Britain in the Second World War. -- .
