Recenzje

because Hallett is able to draw upon extensive clinical and professional knowledge to support her literary and historical research, she is able to bring a further dimension to her interpretation and analysis of these sources, adding a much greater depth to her study. It is this combination of historian and medical practitioner underlying the narrative that gives it the depth to tread new ground so convincingly ... The result is highly readable and will appeal to a range of audiences, general as well as academic readers. Overall, Hallett orchestrates this chorus with great proficiency, making a very significant contribution to our understanding of women's history of the First World War.
