In this innovative study the authors use oral history, material culture, letters, and art to centre children's voices and experiences. Each chapter is well researched and sensitive to difficult subject matter. Collectively they make important contributions to the history of children and youth, war and society, memory and oral history, and the history of emotion and affect theory.
