Haven't read the book myself but do know of some professors at an Ivy League school in the Psychology Department that have. They just laughed it off as wasted time since only a very small number of people would actually be interested in the book and there are other issues that warrant research instead of why people reenact WWI/WWII.

"professors at an Ivy League school in the Psychology Department" Alas, to us inthe normal world, the "ivy league" is about as relavant as a fart in a typhoon.Marsh the surly
Fair enough. My my mother has a PhD. in cultural psychology, so I guess this stuff and questions related to it have been pounded into me from an early age. I found the book interesting because it addressed questions that I have been asking myself about my hobby, particularly as I have chosen to portray the German side of the equasion. While the book wasn't specific to why some people reenact WW2 German, it did address why recent conflicts are interesting to some reenactors.
