You clearly have not read the review or either of the books!

Just like Musket saying in his last post, "I have read some of the above and let me tell you, they don't."
If he were not lying, he would have given a name and/or a quote.
He gave neither because he has neither.

From the review,
"An intelligent assessment of the impact of the first world war on Britain that challenges its iconic status as a world of gloomy trenches, anti-war poets and wasted lives."

" During this second phase, he argues, the great war assumed its iconic status as a world of gloomy trenches, antiwar poets and wasted lives, and has, on the whole, stayed that way up to the present. He fears that the commemorations next year will be filled with more Sassoon and Owen, and melancholy evocations of life on the western front."

"Reynolds understands that the idea of the great war as trenches and poems grew in significance from the 1960s, and was soon embedded in school curricula and media representations of the conflict (unlike in continental European countries, where the war receded in popular memory due to the horrors and conflicts provoked by world war two). He is surely right to argue that this has narrowed the popular perspective. "
