It would be interesting to know who the reviewer was. If Haverfield was neither quoted nor named in the book, it looks as if the reviewer was having a private swipe at him. Unfortunately, the review is anonymous and the only clue we have is a comment made by the editor after Haverfield's letter: 'We should like to have submitted Professor Haverfield's letter to the reviewer of England Invaded, but on account of the war this is impossible.' I infer from this that the reviewer had joined up on the outbreak of war and had been sent abroad before November, when Haverfield's letter appeared.
