How are soldiers made? Why do they fight? Re-imagining the study of
armed forces and society, Barkawi examines the imperial and
multinational armies that fought in Asia in the Second World War,
especially the British Indian army in the Burma campaign. Going
beyond conventional narratives, Barkawi studies soldiers in
transnational context, from recruitment and training to combat and
memory. Drawing on history, sociology and anthropology, the book
critiques the 'Western way of war' from a postcolonial perspective.
Barkawi reconceives soldiers as cosmopolitan, their battles
irreducible to the national histories that monopolise them. This
book will appeal to those interested in the Second World War, armed
forces and the British Empire, and students and scholars of
military sociology and history, South Asian studies and
international relations.
