You can't murder a people and walk away scot-free: In the Voyage Home, Pat Barker explores morality in war

    Research output: Contribution to Newspaper/Magazine/BulletinBook/Film/Article review

    Abstract

    The Voyage Home is a moral tale. It lays out the contingency of power, the banality of evil, and the grace that appears in the lives of everyday people.
    It reminds us that abuses of power and assaults on ethical behaviour will be punished.
    And it observes that those who enmesh themselves in blood, who kill children, and who raze cities to the ground will not, finally, walk away scot-free.
