I read a couple of books by Fussell a few years ago, The Great War and Modern Memory and Wartime. Both excellent reads (although the argument in the first one is a bit of a stretch). Thanks for the recommendation. I had never heard of this one. I work, periodically, in fundraising, and I find it very helpful to know something about what’s going on in the heads of the wealthy. Another really good resource in this regard, and an extremely funny book as well, is A Natural History of the Rich (I forget the author’s name, but he takes the insights of anthropology and applies them to the very wealthy).
