@varsha_venkat_ The "demythologize World War II" argument is really an effort to replace one set of narratives with another one for expressly political purposes. I think this campaign is counterproductive and borderline offensive. — PolitiTweet.org

@varsha_venkat_ This seems wrong to me! Every nation has a set of national myths, understood not as falsehoods but as a set of shared narratives of the collective past. The question is not whether such a thing exists at all but which (true) elements of the past it should emphasize. — PolitiTweet.org

@varsha_venkat_ I totally agree, and your scholarship sounds fascinating! What bothers me more is something like the book in the review, which explicitly argues that American historical memory of WWII enables bad wars today so needs to be rewritten to emphasize the US entry's negative aspects. — PolitiTweet.org
