Review
"Jennifer D. Keene [has] illuminated these once unknown soldiers through scholarship of startling originality and insight." -- Steven Trout, American Studies
"Keene's work deserves an audience not only among scholars of military history and international relations but also among those interested in questions of race, social welfare, labor, and the relationship between the individual citizen and the state in the twentieth century." -- G. Kurt Piehler, Journal of American History
"Clearly written and magnificently researched... In the book's best passages Keene's Doughboys force the federal government to re-examine the relationship between itself and its citizen soldiers." -- Kerry E. Irish, Journal of Military History
"This book is a valuable contribution to the history of World War I." -- Edward M. Coffman, Register of the Kentucky Historical Society

"Her work should help return the First World War to a place of primary importance in American history." -- Michael Neiberg, Journal of Social History
"Keene's chapters on the military experiences of ordinary soldiers and the ways in which they perceived and articulated their careers as citizen soldiers are rich and engaging." -- Robert H. Zieger, Historian
