Rezensionen

"This is a well-written, well-researched book. ... Napper's The Great War in Popular British Cinema of the 1920s: Before Journey's End is highly recommended for graduate students and professionals in the areas of Film History, Communications and Cultural Studies. It stands on its own as an invitation to reexamine the culture of understanding interpretations of film." (Erwin F. Erhardt, III, Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television, Issue 2, December, 2016)
