Summary
This has been a book about change, enforced change. It has mapped the rapid transition from wartime regimentation to individual responsibility, from intense homosociality to heteronormative expectations and from uniformed masculinity to domestic citizenship, all of which took place within a climate of emotional inarticulacy that did little to address the anxieties generated by such a radical upheaval in the psychic landscape of the nation.
