Description
The boundaries between war and peace have become increasingly blurred. In this thought-provoking work, Rosa Brooks explores how America's wars are no longer confined to traditional battlegrounds. As the role of the US military expands, so do its responsibilities. From analyzing computer code to training Afghan judges, military personnel are now involved in a wide range of activities that were previously the domain of other professions. This seismic shift has significant implications for how America wages war and for the country's founding values. Brooks' work is both a memoir, a work of journalism, and a scholarly exploration of history, anthropology, and law. It offers an urgent warning: when the boundaries around war disappear, we risk undermining international rules and organizations that keep our world from sliding towards chaos.
