Reviews
"Shannon Bontrager has written an intricate, impressive book about mourning, memory, and national identity. Some facets of his story are familiar, but he extends the sweep of his analysis in fresh and provocative directions, enlarging it, as the title suggests, to the edges of the American empire."--W. Fitzhugh Brundage, Civil War Book Review, "Shannon Bontrager's Death on the Edges of Empire joins a list of other seminal works on war and memory such as Kristin Hass's Carried to the Wall . He shows the importance of culture on shaping American narratives regarding war. It is a very important addition to the literature. Highly recommended!"--Kyle Longley, author of Grunts: The American Combat Soldier in Vietnam, "This innovative work--part intellectual history and part memory study--reveals the shifting cultural landscape of late nineteenth-century and early twentieth-century America and the crucial of role of military cemeteries within this national, transatlantic, and transpacific narrative."--Tracy L. Barnett, North Carolina Historical Review, " Death at the Edges of Empire is an insightful new addition into the historiography on how Americans construct cultural memories from their military dead and how these memories are susceptible to change."--Tristan Krause, H-War, "Original, thoughtful, and wide-ranging. Readers interested in the connections among military sacrifice, memory, and national identity will come away with many insights."--Andre M. Fleche, Journal of Southern History, "Shannon Bontrager's Death at the Edges of Empire is an important addition to the scholarship of cultural memory. By limiting the scope to the period between the Civil War and the end of World War I, he allows us to trace the evolution of remembrance across four very different conflicts during a period that transformed America as a nation. Given the depth and complexity of the topics discussed, this book would work well in a graduate-level seminar on American history, especially one concerned with cultural memory."--Robert T. Jones, Cercles, "Though a work of history, Death at the Edges of Empire ultimately raises questions about the present: Are we too divided to do war memorials anymore? And if so, are honest forms of commemoration even possible?"--Randall Fuller, Wall Street Journal, "Bontrager's wide sweep means that scholars with different specialties will find this book valuable."--Vicki Daniel, Journal of the Gilded Age and Progressive Era, " Death at the Edges of Empire provides an essential new perspective on the intersection of military memory, the bodies of the war dead, race, and empire. It pushes historians to consider how the war dead have been used to expand American empire while reinforcing the limitations of who could be included in the American project. As the United States confronts the legacy of military commemoration in new ways, this book provides scholars with novel analyses that will strengthen their understandings of the field."--Allison S. Finkelstein, Journal of the Civil War Era, "This is would be an excellent book for a graduate level seminar in American historical geography or American cultural memory. . . . Geographers who study cultural memory will be especially interested in the skillful analysis of how memory moves and takes shape across places at different scales to justify the American imperial project."--Jordan P. Brasher, Journal of Historical Geography, "Dense and absorbing. I'm particularly impressed by Bontrager's deft rhetorical analysis of various speeches--many of them by presidents--delivered at remembrance functions between 1863 and 1921. . . . This is an effective way of tracking the ideological twists and turns in American war commemoration. In addition, the author knows how to tell a story. Some of my favorite sections of this book are simply compelling narratives."--Steven Trout, professor of English at the University of South Alabama, "Shannon Bontrager's Death at the Edges of Empire joins a list of other seminal works on war and memory, such as Kristin Hass's Carried to the Wall . He shows the importance of culture on shaping American narratives regarding war. It is a very important addition to the literature. Highly recommended!"--Kyle Longley, author of Grunts: The American Combat Soldier in Vietnam
