This new handbook provides an introduction to current
sociological and behavioral research on the effects of the wars in
Iraq and Afghanistan.
The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan represent two of the most
interesting and potentially troubling events of recent decades.
These two wars-so similar in their beginnings-generated different
responses from various publics and the mass media; they have had
profound effects on the members of the armed services, on their
families and relatives, and on the people of Iraq and
Afghanistan.
Analyzing the effect of the two wars on military personnel and
civilians, this volume is divided into four main parts:
Part I: War on the Ground: Combat and Its Aftermath
Part II: War on the Ground: Non-Combat Operations,
Noncombatants, and Operators
Part III: The War Back Home: The Social Construction of War, Its
Heroes, And Its Enemies
Part IV: The War Back Home: Families and Youth on the Home
Front
With contributions from leading academic sociologists,
anthropologists, psychologists, military researchers, and
researchers affiliated with Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs),
this Handbook will be of interest to students of the Iraq and
Afghanistan wars, military sociology and psychology, war studies,
anthropology, US politics, and of youth.
