Reviews

[This book] provide[s] a revealing picture of how a not very heroic people - probably like most of us - managed to cope with the difficult circumstances of a basically irresistible enemy occupation.
*Literary Review*

The authors undertook a substantial quantity of research, and the book shines when it ... focus[es] on the context in which the occupation played out.
*American Historical Review*

Protest, Defiance, and Resistance in the Channel Islands will undoubtedly appeal to academics with an interest in occupation history, Holocaust studies, and resistance studies, and would be a good choice for anyone with a particular interest in the history of the Channel Islands or Island studies in general … [The book] does not simply fill in a gap in Channel Island or occupation historiography; it contributes to a more balanced and nuanced understanding of the multiple “British” experiences of the Second World War.
