- This 105,000 word book took six years of sustained research. It required a complex examination of multiple case studies from a fifty-year period (from early films to the Second World War) drawing on theoretical and historical sources from diverse disciplines (Film Studies, History, Geography, amongst others). The critical insights produced depended upon analysis of numerous primary sources drawn from twenty-two archives, including hard to access, small, and geographically remote destinations (e.g. the Army Medical Corps Museum, private collections). These sources enabled the book’s exploration of modernity from multiple perspectives, including in different class, race, colonial and gendered contexts.
