Book Synopsis
The first and only book that covers the whole range of British ex-servicemen’s experiences in the interwar period in a single volume

Trade Review
Adam Powell’s Soldiering On is a significant addition to a subject area that has received too little scholarly work in the past. Not only is this book a rich and accessible resource for the history of British veterans in the interwar years, the book’s themes will resonate today as we continue to send young men and women to war and deal with personal traumas and stress of its aftermath. Powell provides a wider and broader context – from the pre-war world of Edwardian England to the worldwide impact of the twentieth century’s first global conflict – within which to examine the reality of returning veterans. From individuals’ stories to government policies (or lack thereof), Soldiering On bears powerful witness to the human cost of war. -- Susan Werbe
“This meticulously researched and well-written book offers a glimpse into the problems faced by our ancestors as they returned home from war.” -- Mark Simner * Who Do You Think You Are? Magazine *
