An Intimate History of Killing Face-to-face Killing in Twentieth-century Warfare  -  Joanna Bourke

KORTE INHOUD

Bourke uses the letters, diaries, memoirs and reports of veterans from three conflicts - World War I, World War II and the Vietnam War - to establish a picture of the man-at-arms. What she suggests is that the structure of war encourages pleasure in killing, and that perfectly ordinary, gentle human beings can become enthusiastic killes without becoming brutalized.
