The Routledge Handbook of War and Society
0 - Default Title
Description
The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan represent two of the most interesting and potentially troubling events of recent decades. These two wars-so similar in their beginnings-generated different responses from various publics and the mass media; they have had profound effects on the members of the armed services, on their families and relatives, and on the people of Iraq and Afghanistan.
Analyzing the effect of the two wars on military personnel and civilians, this volume is divided into four main parts:
Part I: War on the Ground: Combat and Its Aftermath
Part II: War on the Ground: Non-Combat Operations, Noncombatants, and Operators
Part III: The War Back Home: The Social Construction of War, Its Heroes, And Its Enemies
Part IV: The War Back Home: Families and Youth on the Home Front
With contributions from leading academic sociologists, anthropologists, psychologists, military researchers, and researchers affiliated with Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), this Handbook will be of interest to students of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, military sociology and psychology, war studies, anthropology, US politics, and of youth.
