10 Conclusion
-
Lucy Noakes
Abstract
The conclusion argues death is central to war. Not only for individuals, who have to find ways to cope with the threat of death and the loss of loved ones, but for nation states, that have to manage the dead, and the grief of the bereaved, in order to ensure that these most disruptive of emotions and experiences don’t undermine wartime morale, but also in order that they be put to work for the national war effort.
