At War: The Military and American Culture in the Twentieth Century and Beyond PDF
Preview At War: The Military and American Culture in the Twentieth Century and Beyond
At War War Culture Edited by Daniel Leonard Bernardi Books in this series address the myriad ways in which warfare informs diverse cultural practices, as well as the way cultural practices–from cinema to social media–inform the practice of warfare. They illuminate the insights and limita- tions of critical theories that describe, explain and politicize the phenomena of war culture. Traversing both national and intellectual borders, authors from a wide range of fields and disciplines collectively examine the articulation of war, its everyday practices, and its impact on individuals and societies throughout modern history.
