Matt Crawford speaks with author Shannon Bontrager about his book
Death at the Edges of Empire. How has the burial and commemoration
of our war dead shaped our history and our culture? What was
Lincoln promising to those who died on the Civil War battlefields
in his Gettysburg Address? Bontrager examines these aspects of our
past and explains how they continue to shape the lens through which
we view our past. A fresh and captivating look at a piece of our
history I hadn't understood until reading this book.
