Author Keith Lowe (http://www.keithlowehistory.com) published the book “Prisoners of History: What Monuments to World War II Tell Us About Our History and Ourselves” in 2020 (Dec). This is Mr. Lowe’s fifth publication.

I categorize this book as ‘G’. The book looks at various memorials erected around the world related to WWII. Some have now been taken down, while others survive. New ones have even been established in recent years.

I found the 5.5+ hours I spent reading this 368-page history very interesting. This is an unusual book. It doesn’t tell the story of a battle. It looks at how people remembered the war and how they still feel about it. I do like the chosen cover art. I give this book a 3.8 (rounded up to a 4) out of 5.
