Index.Reviews'This book makes it clear both why Norway offers an important case study and why greater attention should be paid to women's experiences in war. The interdisciplinary nature of the collection is striking, and chimes well with developments throughout the academy. The book is engaging, clearly written and well-structured. Each chapter whets the appetite for more.' Mary Bosworth, University of Oxford, UK and Monash University, Australia 'This book not only makes women's war experience more visible, it also convincingly demonstrates how the female body and sexuality become a combat zone, cut across categories like victim and perpetrator, resistance and collaboration, agency and victimhood, silence and propaganda. Easy to read but hard to forget.' Anette Warring, Roskilde University, Denmark 'A fascinating and timely collection that applies distinctive disciplinary lenses from criminology and international relations to the theme of women and war. The book uses the focus on Norway as a single national context to illuminate key debates around agency, including complicity and resistance, sexual exploitation and political choices, on the one hand, and memory and history, and their gendered treatment on the other.'
