Summary Annotation "This book analyses the human face of warfare in the past, present and future. It contains essays by eminent Australian and international experts covering such issues as the psychology of killing in society and in the military; the past and future stresses on military commanders, from Douglas Macarthur to Norman Schwarzkopf; the making of war heroes such as Albert Jacka and Audie Murphy; and the role of women in combat." "The growing dilemma in Western democracies, between the need for far-flung commitments to maintain international security and increasing public reluctance to accept military casualties in the face of instantaneous media coverage, is carefully analysed."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
