There is a dearth of detailed work on classical music's response to the First World War, so often seen as 'the most literary war in history'. There is even less written about the parallel and intricately linked responses of American, Canadian and British composers. This is a timely, fascinating and accessible study, crossing continents to ask questions of music's role in times of international crisis.--Kate Kennedy, coeditor of The Silent Morning: Culture and Memory after the Armistice
