Review: "The Long Aftermath. Cultural Legacies of Europe at War, 1936–2016" / Manuel Bragança, Peter Tame (ed.) New York: Berghahn Books, 2015. ISBN: 978-1-78238-153-2
- The Long Aftermath is a collection of documented research essays by twenty-one scholars from various nations and disciplines.

Several chapters are devoted to each of seven European countries: Spain, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, and the USSR/Russia. The term "cultural legacies" is addressed rather broadly, encompassing personal memories, historical, political, and ideological commentary, and analyses of war-related literature and films. The articles focus on specific topics in detail, although some general conclusions emerge
