内容説明
This title argues that the fear of death powerfully shapes our thinking about war. Drawing on an extensive study of 20th-century US foreign policy officials, the book argues that through the use of symbolism, metaphor, and ritual, the foreign policy leadership construe war as a battle against death itself. This social construction of death in battle then helps the soldiers and the nation gain a sense of immortality. The book provides a fresh and provocative perspective on the underlying cultural and psychological dynamics that make it possible for nations to go to war.
