The Human Face of Warfare - Michael Evans, Alan Ryan
KORTE INHOUD
This text analyzes the human face of warfare in the past, present and future. The essays, by international experts, cover issues including the psychology of killing in society and in the military; the past and future stresses on commanders; the making of war heroes; and the role of women in combat. It analyzes the growing dilemma in Western democracies caused by the need to commit forces to far-flung campaigns to maintain international security in the face of increasing public reluctance to accept military casualties in the days of instantaneous media coverage. The approach is interdisciplinary and broad-ranging, with insights into the psychology and history of conflict. The contributors argue that war is still waged by human beings rather than technology; consequently, understanding human factors is key to understanding conflict.
