<p>'This book is a very important contribution to the ongoing discussion on a range of very contentious subjects...Do purchase this book, read it more than once...There is much to be absorbed and considered. You will not be disappointed. I applaud Dr Knowles Smith for her contribution to our learning.' - Geoffrey Rowland, Guernsey Press</p>
<p>'An arresting discussion of the Channel Islands during the occupation...Smith captures the nature of life during the occupation...' - History, The Journal of the Historical Association</p>
