In the contemporary world, war rivals infectious disease as a
global cause of morbidity and mortality. Since the end of World War
II, there have been at least 160 wars around the world with as many
as 25 million (and probably many more) people killed, most of them
civilians. Directly or indirectly, war touches the lives of most
people on the planet, often with lasting and costly impact. Framed
by the holistic and ethnographically grounded theoretical
perspective of critical medical anthropology, and more broadly by
the political economy of health, this book of essays by leading
medical anthropologists and other health social scientists
carefully examines the global effects of war, the war industry, and
the international weapons trade on human health and well-being.
Further, this book goes beyond offering a lively and readable
account of a pressing health concern by critically analyzing the
political and economic forces driving the war machine to inflict
ever-increasing levels of social suffering and loss of life.
