I am really proud of this book - the chapter authors have done an amazing job of covering different asymmetries of power, experience and narrative in moments of wartime “enemy encounter”, from the Napoleonic Wars to the current war in Ukraine. Out now! 🤍
Wonderful new edited volume from @matildagreig.bsky.social and Holly Furneaux on 'Enemy Encounters in Modern Warfare'. Packed with chapters that are attentive to the intersectional politics of peace & conflict and use a 😍 range of cultural and political sources: link.springer.com/book/10.1007...
Enemy Encounters in Modern Warfare
This book blends historical and literary approaches into an original collaborative study of representations of enemy encounters in modern war.
