Anita J. Prazmowska reviewed the book for The American Historical Review, writing that "Zaremba introduces an entirely new analysis of the way wars impact society, and with that he challenges the notion that once military activities end, war can be considered to have, likewise ended. On the basis of Polish experiences of the immediate post war period, from 1944 to 1947, he suggests that wars damage people’s sense of equilibrium, safety, and well-being."{{cite journal | url=https://academic.oup.com/ahr/article-abstract/129/2/838/7690597?redirectedFrom=fulltext | doi=10.1093/ahr/rhae158 | title=Marcin Zaremba.
