''One of the great achievements of [Miller''s] books is the insistence on the material realities of World War II that challenged the moral consciousness of the world... A major implication of [Kristine Miller''s] studies is that the next step in research on World War II British literature should relate writing from the home front to that which engages Britain''s global roles in this catclysmic war.'' - Phyllis Lasner, Northwestern University

''...a fascinating look at a prominent but little understood chapter of European modernity...an important contribution to the study of the modern literature on war.'' - Modern Fiction Studies
