"The First World War had a great impact on British modernism and twentieth-century art. This book examines how the British state recruited some of its most controversial artists to produce official art as propaganda and how their work gave witnessed testimony to the trauma of a war that later generations would redeem in acts of remembrance."--BOOK JACKET.
