"This book puts the emerging field of military anthropology on the social science research map. The rich variety of the chapters offer unique ethnographic insights into US Military culture." - Donna Winslow, Vrije University, Amsterdam
"An extraordinarily timely collection of fine articles on the military when the subject matter is in the forefront of most of the people not only in the United States but in the world at large. As anthropology is coming home to their own culture and society and the anthropology of the military is becoming its burgeoning sub-field, the volume demonstrates how anthropological methods and theories, including those by M. Maus, M. Douglas, D. Schneider, P. Bourdieu, and C. Geertz, can be successfully applied to illuminate the issues of the body, kinship, class, individual thoughts and feelings in their day-to-day lives. Written in a lucid prose, the volume should be read by all, in anthropology and beyond." - Emiko Ohnuki-Tierney, William F. Vilas Research Professor, University of Wisconsin-Madison
