- Winner of the Book Prize in American Studies of the British Association of American Studies, Civil War Memories is the first comprehensive account of how and why Americans have selectively remembered, and forgotten, this watershed conflict. Drawing on a vast array of textual and visual sources, as well as a wide range of modern scholarship on Civil War memory, Cook charts the construction of four dominant narratives by the ordinary men and women, as well as the statesmen and generals, who lived through the struggle and its tumultuous aftermath. The book’s completion was supported by a 2014-15 British Academy Fellowship.
