      abstract = {This book uses personal memoir to examine links between  private trauma and the socio-cultural approach to death and  memory developed within Death Studies. The authors, two key  Death Studies scholars, tell the stories that constitute  their family lives. Each bears witness to the experiences  of men who were either killed or traumatised during World  War One and World War Two and shows the ongoing  implications of these events for those left behind. The  book illustrates how the rich oral history and material  culture legacy bequeathed by these wars raises issues for  everyone alive today. Belonging to a generation who grew up  in the shadow of war, Komaromy and Hockey ask how we can  best convey unimaginable events to later generations, and  what practical, moral and ethical demands this brings.  Family Life, Trauma and Loss in the Twentieth Century will  be of interest to students and scholars across a range of  disciplines including Death Studies, Military History,  Research Methods, Family History, the Sociology of the  Family and Life Writing.--},
