| Publisher Description: Military cemeteries are one of the most prominent cultural landscapes of Israel. The changes in their appearance largely reflect the main social processes in Israeli society. Until the end of the 1970s, military tombstones and their surroundings were uniform and equal. Only since the 1980s, families of the fallen soldiers started to add personal expressions. The book sheds light on one of the most sensitive issues in Israeli society. |
