Description
Summary:	"Wat do Turkey and India have in common? Burcu Cevik-Compiegne brings sources from two apparently separate contexts into conversation to offer fresh insights into the Great War and its ongoing legacy, highlighting the perspectives of people in two post-imperial nation states. She uses public discourses, literature, oral histories, memorials and other material as entry points into histories of writing, overwriting and erasing the shadows of an imperial war.
