Description

Religion on the Battlefield explores how religious practices shape modern military operations. Ron E. Hassner argues that religion acts as a force multiplier, influencing everything from attack timing to individual soldier morale. Hassner examines the everyday practice of religion in a military context, looking at how prayers, rituals, and other customs have impacted battlefield decision-making. He draws on examples from major wars involving Western militaries, including World War I, World War II, and the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. By understanding the role of religion in modern warfare, Hassner sheds light on the complexities of military operations and the ways in which religious practices can influence even the most rational and bureaucratized organizations.
