- This book is methodologically and conceptually innovative, weaving together war history, history of childhood, French history and oral history. It is in the vanguard of two waves of new scholarship: 1) on impacts of wartime bombing on civilians, now stimulating research on non-European theatres of war; and 2) on children’s agency in the past. It rigorously employs a bilingual, mixed archival/oral history/case study methodology. Reviewers describe it as ‘lucidly written’ and a ‘compelling narrative’. It is cited in international research on war and genocide; 750 copies are held in libraries across the world, and it is a regularly downloaded e-book.
