Reception

The Sydney Morning Herald wrote "Cleary is neither a stylist nor a profound writer. He is essentially a storyteller, and very good one, most at home in the fields of action and adventure, as A Very Private War demonstrates", calling it "a straightforward, uncomplicated tale of wartime derring-do."[4]

Proposed Film

In 1981 there were reports a film version was in development with the Queensland Film Corporation[5] but no movie resulted.
