Postgraduate researcher Sam Fowles writes in the Labour Uncut blog on his recent visit to the revamped Imperial War Museum, which he believes “captures the individual horrors and heroisms of war with aplomb but refuses to acknowledge that war itself is the result of the (often self interested) decisions of those in power”. He explains that “the battle for control of history is an inherently political issue” and the “reality is that there are multiple interpretations of history and all may be equally valid”.
