[edit] Literary significance and reception
Booklist said that 1945 was "realistic to the point of gruesomeness, 1945 recalls David Westheimer’s classic Lighter than a Feather."[1] Publishers Weekly said that Conroy explored the carnage of war through various viewpoints with "moving and thought provoking results".[2]
