Action and Death in War

Abstract

As we saw in Chapter 1, there are many outcomes of a war. There will be arguments about who won, who is better placed for future political developments. And there will be people mourning. This chapter will start with the analysis of what this book finds to be the only ultimate and unalterable outcome of war: the people dead. It will examine how the national broadsheets made reference to different categories of fatalities and what their coverage might imply.
