The First World War in Computer Games Reviews

The First World War in Computer Games is an important contribution to a relatively new field of study in the cultural memory of the conflict. Its interdisciplinary nature means it is useful for those from varying disciplinary backgrounds and is definitely worth consulting. Overall, the book begins an interesting discussion on contemporary representations of the war and shows the need for further research on the topic, especially in the realm of reception studies. (Amanda Phipps, Cultural History, Vol. 5 (1), 2016)
