Summary/Abstract: Before becoming history, war was delivered to memory on the conditions that this great tragedy is felt purely personal, individual. The memorial war“bill” is accomplished, then, after a imprescriptibly "privatization" of the tragedy, under the sovereign view on the war, from the official point of view, that remains detached from bomb on earth launched at the height of the plane or at the height of the “objectivity” of war strategies. The lower part of war, combatants and civilians directly affected by the tragedy has a punctual concrete look as a very personal experience marked by a strong “behavioral and emotional identification”. This method of transferring the history of war in memory of participants, as processing and takeovers of “living history” defines the memory of war as war of memory.The historiographical outline of the reconstruction of the war through memory, stages and inflections, the emergence of memory in historiographical discourse as a first concentric delimitation and the typology of the „bottom” memory or, more precisely, the possible thematic or generic dissociation of this memory, as the second concentric circle, can argue descriptive and interpretative valences of the war played between history and memory.
