Recenzje

A groundbreaking analysis of veterans and the peace movement, Messner focuses on a young generation outside of the heterosexual, white male norm in the military. Told through compelling narratives and an intersectional lens, this is an important book for anyone interested in the complications of serving in the military and then coming to seek an end to war.
