Abstract

"The Crimean War and Cultural Memory: The War France Won and Forgot" by Sim Godfrey explores how France, despite its significant involvement in the Crimean War, has largely forgotten its role in this global conflict. The book delves into the cultural ephemera and artefacts produced during the war years, highlighting the disconnect between the war's prominence in popular culture at the time and its subsequent absence from French memory. Through detailed analysis and five hypotheses, the author attempts to unravel the reasons behind this national amnesia. This comprehensive and well-supported work is a valuable resource for scholars interested in nineteenth-century France and the Crimean War, offering a fresh perspective on a forgotten chapter of history.
