The postmodern military : armed forces after the Cold War

The end of the Cold war augurs momentous changes within armed forces in Western Societies. The Postmodern Military examines contemporary civil-military trends by first looking at specific areas in the U.S. military and then assessing the postmodern thesis in twelve advanced democracies. This book has much to tell the student of military sociology, political science, or government; defense professional; and general reader about what life is really like in today's military and how it is both the same and different around the world.
