Kritik
"Cordle's most salient contributions to the scholarship on the anti-nuclear literature of the 1980s involve his choice to discuss numerous works of young adult (YA) and children's fiction alongside canonical works of nuclear-themed film and fiction geared specifically for adult audiences." (Derek C. Maus, Orbit, Vol. 7 (1), 2019)

"Late Cold War Literature and Culture is a deeply researched and effectively argued study of a coherent body of 1980s fictional texts that engaged with the dynamics of a revived Cold War and a renewed anxiety regarding nuclear destruction. ... the volume makes an important contribution to the study of nuclear war in fiction and will thus be highly useful for sf scholars interested in that topic." (Rob Latham, Science Fiction Studies, Vol. 46, 2019)

"Daniel Cordle's Late Cold War Literature and Culture: The Nuclear 1980s works to examine the underlying social, political, economic and cultural anxieties during the Cold War era. ... The Nuclear 1980s is a helpful introduction to nuclear literature and culture. ... Cordle's book shows how complex anxieties pervade through different aspects of life in the late Cold War era, and successfully captures the intriguing nuances of the nuclear age." (Carl White, The British Society for Literature and Science, bsls.ac.uk, August, 2017)mehr
