I'm inclined to agree. I don't think I'd have used the term "honouring", but I don't really have an issue with what they've done.
To my mind, Remembrance Day is a reminder that people suffer during war, and books can help with that. It's my eternal (but hopelessly naive) hope that the more people understand what happens during war, the less likely they will be to call for it in future.
