This book explores the continuous British fascination with the
American Civil War from the 1870s to the present. Analysing the
War's place in British political discourse, military writing,
intellectual life and popular culture, it traces the sources of
Britons' appeal to the American conflict and their use of its
representations at home and abroad.
Cultures of War in Graphic Novels examines the representation of
small-scale and often less acknowledged conflicts from around the
world and throughout history. The contributors look at an array of
graphic novels about conflicts such as the Boxer Rebellion
(1899-1901), the Irish struggle for national independence
(1916-1998), the Falkland War (1982), the Bosnian War (1992-1995),
the Rwandan genocide (1994), the Israel-Lebanon War (2006), and the
War on Terror (2001-). The book explores the multi-layered relation
between the graphic novel as a popular medium and war as a pivotal
recurring experience in human history. The focus on largely
overlooked small-scale conflicts contributes not only to advance
our understanding of graphic novels about war and the cultural
aspects of war as reflected in graphic novels, but also our sense
of the early twenty-first century, in which popular media and
limited conflicts have become closely interrelated.
