Taking as our inspiration a !"# conference on Representations of Warfare in Freiburg, Germany, we consider various aspects of the complicated negotiation between the activity of war itself and the production of the narratives through which we understand it, as well as how such narratives contribute, deliberately or accidentally, to collective identities. We would like to extend our gratitude to the FRIAS Institute of Albert- Ludwigs-Universität and its director, Bernd Kortmann, for supporting the initial conference, in which many of us took part. Others joined the project subsequently and have added greatly to its depth. We are also most grateful to Donald Sells, who served as co-editor in much of the process of producing the volume. We are further indebted to Histos and especially its Supplements Editor John Marincola for helping shape and polish the volume. In addition to helpful feedback by colleagues noted in individual chapters, the anonymous Histos referees’ thorough and constructive comments were very useful both to individual authors and in sharpening the focus of the volume as a whole.
