| adam_text | Culture in Camouflage aims to remap the history of British war culture by insisting on
the centrality and importance of the literature of the Second World War. The book offer s
the first comprehensive account of the emergence of modern war culture, arguing that
its exceptional forms and temporalities force us to reappraise British cultural modernity.
The book explores how writers like Ford Madox Ford. Siegfried Sassoon, Wilfred Owen,
T E. Lawrence, Winston Churchill, Elizabeth Bowen, Virginia Woolf James Hanley, Rex
Warner, Alexander Baron, Keith Douglas, Henry Green, and Graham Greene contested
the dominant narratives of war projected by an enormously powerful and persuasive
mass media and culture industry. Patrick Deer reads war literature as one element in an
expanded cultural field, which also includes popular culture and mass communications, the
productions of war planner s and military historians, projections of new technologies of
violence, the fantasies and theories of strategists, and the material culture of total war.
Modern war cultures, Deer contends, are defned by their drive to normalize conflict and
war-making, by their struggle to colonize the entire wartime cultural field, and by their claim
to monopolize representations and interpretation of the conflict. But the mobilization of
cultural formations during wartime reveals, at times glaringly, the constitutive contradictions
at the heart of modern ideas of culture. The Great War failed to produce a popular war
culture on the home front, producing instead an extraordinary literature of protest, yet
the strategists struggled to regain their oversight over both the enemy across no man’s land,
and the minds and bodies of their own mass conscript armies. The interwar years saw a
massive effort to make strategic fantasies a reality: if the technology of imperial air power
or mobile armoured warfare did not yet exist, culture could be mobilized to shore up
the ramshackle war machine. During World War Two a fully fledged British war culture
emerged triumphant in time of national crisis, offering the vision of a fully mobilized island
fortress, a loyal empire, and a modernized war machine ready to wage a futuristic war
of space and movement. This was the struggle that British World War Two writers
confronted with extraordinary courage and creativity.
