Steve Marti's lively and informative monograph For Home and Empire: Voluntary Mobilization in Australia, Canada, and New Zealand during the First World War will be a worthwhile addition to the reading list of anyone interested in understanding the impact of the Great War on the British Empire.  - Patrick H. Brennan (Canadian Journal of History) Marti weaves together multiple strands of historiography to present fresh insights into the wartime societies of Australia, New Zealand and Canada...[his] level of detail and meticulously supported arguments offer little room for critique. - Jordan Beavis, University of Newcastle, Australia (Canadian Military History) Marti's research is impressive and suggestive, and the comparative approach will add substantially to further efforts to understand the Great War in the British Dominions. - J.L.
