In a feat rarely accomplished in an edited volume of such breadth, the chapters in Objects of War are in conversation with one another throughout the book. Together, the chapters make a compelling case to move beyond the battlefield and examine the objects so easily tossed aside by war. * Los Angeles Review of Books * Editors Leora Auslander and Tara Zahra have put together a collection of articles in Objects of War that each contain detailed analysis of material possessions and their significance during conflicts of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Overall, this collection of essays is highly recommended for the scholarly audience. The editors have brought together a collection that show how objects are affected by people and vice-versa, when revolutions and large-scale armed conflicts displace populations. * Army University Press * The book, Objects of War, illuminates the ways in which people have used things to grapple with the social, cultural, and psychological upheavals wrought by war and forced displacement. * Utah Public Radio *
