Review:
For those of us who teach this option at Advanced Higher, this book takes you beyond the confines of the syllabus required for examination purposes and shows the totality and variety of the impact of that conflict and gives a different perspective on events ... I cannot commend this book highly enough.' – History Teaching Review
