"Through extensive work with hundreds of veterans and a detailed investigation into veterans in college, Ellen Moore has powerfully illuminated and analyzed the ways the military has strategically positioned itself in US society. She has done something unique and powerful in the scholarship of war and peace—a work that should be broadly disseminated and debated."
-- Rick Ayers Huffington Post
“Grateful Nation raises important insights as to what the veterans’ presence on campus might mean. And, much like the paratrooper’s rucksack, there is a lot in Grateful Nation to unpack.”
-- Robert G. Young Military Review
"An insightful new book. Grateful Nation will contribute to both future research and practice among those who study and work on questions related to veterans and to higher education."
-- Alair MacLean Social Forces
"Due to its wide-ranging theoretical grounding and implications, Grateful Nation is a strong contribution for those interested in a variety of topics including education, militarism, and veteran experiences. This is an excellent book for those who work with student veterans and want to engage in depth with the complexity of this student population."
