Book Synopsis Scenes and Traces of the English Civil War by : Stephen Bann
Download or read book Scenes and Traces of the English Civil War written by Stephen Bann and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2020-09-02 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The English Civil War has become a frequent point of reference in contemporary British political debate. A bitter and bloody series of conflicts, it shook the very foundations of seventeenth-century Britain. This book is the first attempt to portray the visual legacy of this period, as passed down, revisited, and periodically reworked over two and a half centuries of subsequent English history. Highly regarded art historian Stephen Bann deftly interprets the mass of visual evidence accessible today, from ornate tombs and statues to surviving sites of vandalism and iconoclasm, public signage, and historical paintings of human subjects, events, and places. Through these important scenes and sometimes barely perceptible traces, Bann shows how the British view of the War has been influenced and transformed by visual imagery.
Book Synopsis Imaging the Scenes of War by : Christof Decker
Download or read book Imaging the Scenes of War written by Christof Decker and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2022-04-30 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In American visual culture, the 1930s and 1940s were a key transitional period shaped by the era of modernism and the global confrontation of World War II. Christof Decker demonstrates that the war and its iconography of destruction challenged visual artists to find new ways of representing its consequences. Dealing with trauma and war crimes led to the emergence of complex aesthetic forms and media crossovers. Decker shows that the 1940s were a pivotal period for the creation of horrific yet also innovative representations that boosted American visual modernism and set the stage for debates about the ethics of visual culture in the post-9/11 era.

Book Synopsis World in the Balance by : Gerhard L. Weinberg
Download or read book World in the Balance written by Gerhard L. Weinberg and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of Weinberg's text is to suggest a way in which the dramatic events of World War II may be seen. Weinberg argues that the war must be seen as a whole, and that the presentation of it in discrete segments covering the European and Pacific portions separately distorts reality and obscures important aspects of the war on both sides of the world. In addition, any understanding of the great struggle requires a mental self-liberation from the certain knowledge of its outcome. In desperate struggles millions fought and died, hopeful or fearful--or both--but without awareness of the end.
Book Synopsis An Instinct for War by : Roger J Spiller
Download or read book An Instinct for War written by Roger J Spiller and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-06-30 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spiller combines a mastery of the primary sources with a vibrant historical imagination to locate a dozen turning points in the world's history of warfare that altered our understanding of war and its pursuit. We are conducted through profound moments by the voices of those who witnessed them and are given a graphic understanding of war, the devastating choices, the means by which battles are won and lost, and the enormous price exacted. Spiller's attention to the sights and sounds of battle enables us to feel the sting and menace of past violent conflicts as if they were today's.
