Reviews for Soldiering Under Occupation: Processes of Mubing Among Israeli Soldiers in the Al-Aqsa Intifada
This is an excellent book that weaves ethnographic data, interpretation, and theory in an impressive manner. It deals with a subject that has received almost no scholarly attention: the morality of soldiers 'on the ground.' Clearly written and coherently argued, it offers a fresh and new perspective on the military and the new wars.
