  • Summary

    The introduction describes the plan and purpose of the book. It begins with a problematic, yet influential, theory of Julius Wellhausen, according to which defeat at the hands of imperial armies transformed the people of Israel into a nonpolitical religious community. It then demonstrates the problems with this approach and introduces an alternative based on the study of war commemoration in the formation of national identities.
