"The essays in this collection serve as a durable testament to one of the most important academic critics of US war-making in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries." - Susan L. Carruthers, author of The Good Occupation: American Soldiers and the Hazards of Peace

"Mark Philip Bradley and Mary L. Dudziak have brought together eight published and two unpublished papers from Young's long and illustrious career that provide readers with a wide-ranging introduction to why she was such an influential scholar, teacher, and activist. The editors' thoughtful introduction and Andrew Bacevich's comments in an afterword contribute significantly to the value of the volume and to our understanding of Young, who died in 2017." - Peace Change

"As a whole, the book reminds us of how ground-breaking Young's contribution was to the field of US diplomatic and military history. It also illuminates the key themes that she returned to throughout her career, which focused on how war was processed and absorbed into the US national narrative often by glossing over or 'abstracting' its violence." - H-Net Reviews
