Notes
This book examines the impact of loss and mourning on both men and women. For many women, the concept of the "sacrificial mother" is shown to have changed over time, and the campaigns undertaken by mothers for remuneration reveal a projection of unresolved grief and a feeling of abandonment. The book makes a significant contribution to the social and cultural history of modern warfare.
