Rendered in fluent, jargon-free prose, Until the Last Gun Is Silent is an easy if not always captivating read. At times the spare style crowds out Delmont’s own voice and sensibility, giving the narrative the feel of a classroom lesson more than a dramatic tale ... Despite this veneer of simplicity, however, Delmont shows a grasp of the ironies and nuances of history.
Meticulously researched and beautifully written ... With masterful storytelling and graceful prose, Until the Last Gun Is Silent will force readers to reckon with how domestic racism and foreign military conflict are intertwined.
