Repercussions and Reflections is a new feature of the Joiner Center webpage that we envision and hope will become a forum for the lively exchange of ideas about war and its manifold consequences. We launch the Journal/Blog with a number of commentaries, reviews and translations but we hope that it will soon expand as our readers themselves add their thoughts to our publications and make contributions of their own. We hope to make this feature as user-friendly as possible and welcome suggestions for improvement. Veterans are especially urged to contribute, anyone wishing to publish an essay or review or poetry or other entry in our journal should contact paul.atwood@umb.edu or michael.sullivan@umb.edu.
