Book Synopsis
Explores the relationship between art, architecture, war memory, and Franco-American relations. Kate Clarke Lemay addresses the many functions, both original and more recent, that the American war cemeteries have performed, such as war memorials, diplomatic gestures, Cold War political statements, prompts for debate about Franco-American relations, and the nature of French identity itself.

Trade Review
Triumph of the Dead provides much needed information on post-WWII American military cemeteries in Europe, as well as the US agenda in postwar Europe in general." — Erika Doss, author of Memorial Mania: Public Feeling in America
