My new adult non-fiction book Aliens has been picking up reviews. Here’s one from The Observer, another from the legal advice and comment website Free Movement, and a snippet from the Association of Jewish Refugees newsletter:
Fascinating material casts light on some of the less familiar stories of those who settled in Britain during and after the second world war… The Observer August 2023
This well written and highly readable book… shares ‘the chequered history of Britain’s Wartime Refugees’. It interweaves personal testimonies with historical sources to paint a vivid picture of what life was really like for some of our refugees. Association of Jewish Refugees October 2023
Paul Dowswell’s new book, Aliens: A Chequered History of Britain’s Wartime Refugees, does an excellent job of recounting in a balanced way some aspects of British history that many would rather forget. Aliens is both fascinating and accessible. Free Movement blog November 2023
