Review of Cornelissen & Mondini (Hrsg.) 2021: The Mediatization of War and Peace. The Role of the Media in Political Communication, Narratives, and Public Memory (1914–1939). Berlin: De Gruyter Oldenbourg.

Alexander Schwarz recently reviewed Cornelissen & Mondini's new book, which focuses on the role of the media in transitioning from war to peace, with a particular emphasis on Italy. He highlights the book's interdisciplinary approach and relevance in understanding historical transitions and media dynamics:

"Overall, the volume is a worthwhile read that is particularly interdisciplinary."
