Edward Eastwood noted that the book is 'Meticulously edited and covering a broad spectrum of peace movements and those involved with them in both Britain and Australia, Fighting Against War-Peace Activism in the Twentieth Century is an important work in documenting the history of peace movements in Australia and the labour/women’s organisations that propelled them throughout the conflicts of the twentieth century."[3]
