Reviews for Performance, Politics, and the War on Terror
' Brady's wide-ranging discussions of anti-war performance, of virtual warfare and military training, and of the Bush and Obama administrations are excellent examples of the kind of politically engaged, comparative scholarship that performance studies can offer.'
