Summary:

"How long is the shadow of a battle, an explosion, a revolution? What stories arise in the wake of devastation? Lindsey Hilsum returns to Rwanda two decades after witnessing the beginning of genocide. Patrick French writes of his great-uncle, a World War I hero who left behind a 'saturating cult of remembrance.' From air-raid drills in Paul Auster's America to a calf with a broken foot in Herta M©ơller's Rumania, this is how we live after the war"--Back cover.
