Travels uncharted terrain, moving deftly through a vast scholarship in two languages. The research is sound, the prose crisp and accessible, and the subject unquestionably important.\"--W. Fitzhugh Brundage, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Southern Past: A Clash of Race and Memory\u003c\/i\u003e \"Illuminates the enduring potency of memory in shaping postwar societies for generations after the fighting ceased, reminding us that both losers and victors often had powerful motives to remember--and to forget.\"--Caroline E. Janney, author of \u003ci\u003eRemembering the Civil War\u003c\/i\u003e  \"Traces the dynamics of memory in the aftermath of the Spanish and American civil wars and demonstrates how similar processes of closure, willful blindness, and ideological inculcation worked out in the different contexts to produce sometimes similar but often radically different outcomes.\" --Cillian McGrattan, author of \u003ci\u003eMemory, Politics and Identity\u003c\/i\u003e \"With an engaging narrative and deep research, the book is a model of the benefits derived from a truly comparative study.\"--David Goldfield, author of \u003ci\u003eStill Fighting the Civil War\u003c\/i\u003e Spain and the United States both experienced extremely bloody and divisive civil wars that left social and emotional wounds, many of which still endure today. In \u003ci\u003eUncommonly Savage\u003c\/i\u003e, award-winning historian Paul Escott considers the impact of internecine violence on memory and ideology, politics, and process of reconciliation. He also examines debates over reparation or moral recognition, the rise of truth and reconciliation commissions, and the legal, psychological, and religious aspects of modern international law regarding amnesty.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul D.
