Trade Review

'Civilians Into Soldiers clearly demonstrates how oral history can be successfully combined with the 'official record' to produce rich and complex academic histories, performing the vital function of elucidating the discrepancies between official policy and reality, revealing whether policies were implemented and how and why men negotiated them.'
Joel Morley, Oral History, Spring 2016
