The Cultural Politics of Veterans Narratives is timely in the renewed focus it gives to the veteran as a political subject in post-Covid and post-Brexit Britain. Caddicks analysis is a masterclass in writing with nuance and care. An important and refreshing intervention in Critical Military Studies scholarship. -- Alice Cree, Newcastle University In this superb and significant book, Nick Caddick explains how and why veterans stories matter in contemporary society. With a rare self-awareness and sensitivity to the contradictions of post-military life, Caddick deftly navigates how veteran identities become entwined with sentiments ranging from patriotic pride to social isolation. Crucially, the rich narrative analysis of case studies also recognises the diversity of veteran experience. -- Katy Parry, University of Leeds
