Reception Ken Strongman in the Press wrote ""Casualties of Peace" contained some tough material which will have upset some viewers. With deftness, Judy Callingham has probed into one of New Zealand's basic values and shown that it has more than one aspect. Of course, the ideas are more parochial, with implications for the general so-called generation gap and for conservatism."
