“The authors examine what military memoirs do, why and for whom they are written, what is included and what is excluded, what materials are used, who is involved in the writing and production, and why memoirs physically look the way they do. … Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through faculty and professionals.” (B. Adler, Choice, Vol. 56 (04), December, 2018)
