Reviews

Edward Bujak has written a lucid and informative book showing how the aristocracy adjusted to the demands of war without losing their sense of themselves as a landowning political elite. * John Beckett, Professor of English Regional History, University of Nottingham, UK * Bujak's richly sourced analysis of the English aristocracy reveals in striking new detail the lineaments of the crisis which beset the countryside's traditional elite during the Great War. * Matthew Cragoe, Professor of Modern British History and Pro Vice Chancellor, University of Lincoln, UK *
