This book should be the cornerstone of any future research into military veterans. Professor Anthony Lloyd, Professor of Criminology, Teesside University In this book, Armstrong focuses upon the experiences of veterans routinely assumed to make ‘unproblematic’ transitions into civilian life. Synthesising detailed qualitative data with advanced criminological theory, Armstrong has produced a beautifully written critical account of the various harms experienced by those who attempt to re-integrate into neoliberalism’s competitive, atomised social world.
