There is something immediately engaging and dynamic about Willis's style, telling us about complex events but through the eyes of a witness to them, and in that it has similarities to parts of [[Remember, Remember the Fifth of November by James Sharpe]] in which some of the complexities of religious strife in the 1600s are made clear for the lay reader. But (Dr) Sam Willis is a painstaking professional scholar and one of the pleasures of his book is following the detail of the research taking us through many interesting and often small human stories which bring the events to life. [[The Long Road Home: The Aftermath of the Second World War by Ben Shephard]] manages exactly the same blend of humanity and scholarship in its exploration of what happened to some of the millions of lives touched by the Second World War.
