Recenzje

'Supporting the troops' is one of the primary ways citizens of liberal democracies participate in the wars conducted in their names. Breaking important new ground, Millar shows that this relationship of apolitical sentiment conceals a politics all its own, authorizing violence around the globe and defining belonging and value at home. Millar dares readers to imagine that a more peaceful world and a more just reckoning with war may both require leaving 'support' behind.
