| 2 | Švejk Central | Zenny K. Sadlon | The first ever English-language web site on Švejk, online since 2000. Managed by the translator of the most recent English-language version of the novel, it contains a wealth of information and links. It is particularly strong on analytical and interpretive material. |
| 3 | Live journal by Sergey Soloukh | Сергей Солоух | Sergey Soloukh's detailed analysis of the novel. Unparalleled in its detail. |

| 14 | Michelle Woods reviews The Good Soldier Švejk (Book One) | Jacket Magazine | Thorough and critical review of Book One of the Sadlon/Joyce translation (the 1999 version). The reviewer seems to have read only the first few chapters. It should be noted that the review is based on a very early issue of the translations and that at least the PDF-version has undergone changes since. In 2026 a rewritten version of Book One was published, rendering much of Woods' review obsolete. |
| 15 | The Response | Jacket Magazine | Zenny Sadlon's detailed reply to Michelle Woods' review (see above). |
