Book Synopsis America's Digital Army by : Robertson Allen
Download or read book America's Digital Army written by Robertson Allen and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "America's Digital Army is an ethnographic study of the link between interactive entertainment and military power, drawing on Robertson Allen's fieldwork observing video game developers, military strategists, U.S. Army marketing agencies, and an array of defense contracting companies that worked to produce the official U.S. Army video game, America's Army. Allen uncovers the methods by which gaming technologies such as America's Army, with military funding and themes, engage in a militarization of American society that constructs everyone, even nonplayers of games, as virtual soldiers available for deployment. America's Digital Army examines the army's desire for "talented" soldiers capable of high-tech work; beliefs about America's enemies as reflected in the game's virtual combatants; tensions over best practices in military recruiting; and the sometimes overlapping cultures of gamers, game developers, and soldiers. Allen reveals how binary categorizations such as soldier versus civilian, war versus game, work versus play, and virtual versus real become blurred--if not broken down entirely--through games and interactive media that reflect the U.S. military's ludic imagination of future wars, enemies, and soldiers."--

Book Synopsis Digital Militarism by : Adi Kuntsman
Download or read book Digital Militarism written by Adi Kuntsman and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2015-04-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Israel's occupation has been transformed in the social media age. Over the last decade, military rule in the Palestinian territories grew more bloody and entrenched. In the same period, Israelis became some of the world's most active social media users. In Israel today, violent politics are interwoven with global networking practices, protocols, and aesthetics. Israeli soldiers carry smartphones into the field of military operations, sharing mobile uploads in real-time. Official Israeli military spokesmen announce wars on Twitter. And civilians encounter state violence first on their newsfeeds and mobile screens. Across the globe, the ordinary tools of social networking have become indispensable instruments of warfare and violent conflict. This book traces the rise of Israeli digital militarism in this global context—both the reach of social media into Israeli military theaters and the occupation's impact on everyday Israeli social media culture. Today, social media functions as a crucial theater in which the Israeli military occupation is supported and sustained.

Book Synopsis Soldiering Under Occupation by : Erella Grassiani
Download or read book Soldiering Under Occupation written by Erella Grassiani and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2013-07-30 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Often, violent behavior or harassment from a soldier is dismissed by the military as unacceptable acts by individuals termed, "rotten apples." In this study, the author argues that this dismissal is unsatisfactory and that there is an urgent need to look at the (mis)behavior of soldiers from a structural point of view. When soldiers serve as an occupational force, they find themselves in a particular situation influenced by structural circumstances that heavily influence their behavior and moral decision-making. This study focuses on young Israeli men and their experiences as combat soldiers in the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), particularly those who served in the "Occupied Palestinian Territories" (OPT) during the "Al Aqsa Intifada," which broke out in 2000. In describing the soldiers' circumstances, especially focusing on space, the study shows how processes of numbing on different levels influence the (moral) behavior of these soldiers.

Book Synopsis Unit Transformation for Leaders - Brigade and Below by : Craig Triscari
Download or read book Unit Transformation for Leaders - Brigade and Below written by Craig Triscari and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2005-08 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The evolutionary pace of the Army has increased as we deal with the ever changing operational environment-especially the challenges associated with responding to insurgent and terrorist attacks in Iraq and Afghanistan. Major Craig Triscari provides the first primer for tactical leaders to accommodate the complexities of transforming formations that are often in the final preparation stages for combat. His book is a timely guide to prevent commanders across the Army from recreating the wheel as they field and deploy the new modular brigades. The principles outlined are equally relevant for active and reserve components and are a good foundation for leaders subsequently designated to field the Future Combat System (FCS) force." Colonel Mike Rounds 1st SBCT Commander and Commander, JRTC Operations Group The only book that lays out today's brigade and below transformation process in plain English. If you are interested in knowing how to successfully transform your unit, this is the book that can help you understand the challenges you will have to face. Major Craig Triscari will take you through a process of transformation from start to finish using plain English so that the reader is not lost in military jargon. In order to make transformation easier, the book focuses on essential components of completing a transformation in a timely manner, while sustaining the war fighting skills that have made our units feared and respected throughout the world. This book was written with the specific intent that the reader can apply the ideas in this book to any period of transformation or reorganization within the Army. While it is impossible to put everything you will need to know about transformation in one source document, this book will build a solid base of fundamentals of who, what, when, where, and why we transform.

Download or read book Frontsoldaten written by Stephen G. Fritz and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2010-09-12 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alois Dwenger, writing from the front in May of 1942, complained that people forgot "the actions of simple soldiers.I believe that true heroism lies in bearing this dreadful everyday life." In exploring the reality of the Landser, the average German soldier in World War II, through letters, diaries, memoirs, and oral histories, Stephen G. Fritz provides the definitive account of the everyday war of the German front soldier. The personal documents of these soldiers, most from the Russian front, where the majority of German infantrymen saw service, paint a richly textured portrait of the Landser that illustrates the complexity and paradox of his daily life. Although clinging to a self-image as a decent fellow, the German soldier nonetheless committed terrible crimes in the name of National Socialism. When the war was finally over, and his country lay in ruins, the Landser faced a bitter truth: all his exertions and sacrifices had been in the name of a deplorable regime that had committed unprecedented crimes. With chapters on training, images of combat, living conditions, combat stress, the personal sensations of war, the bonds of comradeship, and ideology and motivation, Fritz offers a sense of immediacy and intimacy, revealing war through the eyes of these self-styled "little men." A fascinating look at the day-to-day life of German soldiers, this is a book not about war but about men. It will be vitally important for anyone interested in World War II, German history, or the experiences of common soldiers throughout the world.

Download or read book Supreme Command written by Eliot A. Cohen and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-04-17 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship between military leaders and political leaders has always been a complicated one, especially in times of war. When the chips are down, who should run the show -- the politicians or the generals? In Supreme Command, Eliot Cohen examines four great democratic war statesmen -- Abraham Lincoln, Georges Clemenceau, Winston Churchill, and David Ben-Gurion -- to reveal the surprising answer: the politicians. Great states-men do not turn their wars over to their generals, and then stay out of their way. Great statesmen make better generals of their generals. They question and drive their military men, and at key times they overrule their advice. The generals may think they know how to win, but the statesmen are the ones who see the big picture. Lincoln, Clemenceau, Churchill, and Ben-Gurion led four very different kinds of democracy, under the most difficult circumstances imaginable. They came from four very different backgrounds -- backwoods lawyer, dueling French doctor, rogue aristocrat, and impoverished Jewish socialist.Yet they faced similar challenges, not least the possibility that their conduct of the war could bring about their fall from power. Each exhibited mastery of detail and fascination with technology. All four were great learners, who studied war as if it were their own profession, and in many ways mastered it as well as did their generals. All found themselves locked in conflict with military men. All four triumphed. Military men often dismiss politicians as meddlers, doves, or naifs. Yet military men make mistakes. The art of a great leader is to push his subordinates to achieve great things. The lessons of the book apply not just to President Bush and other world leaders in the war on terrorism, but to anyone who faces extreme adversity at the head of a free organization -- including leaders and managers throughout the corporate world. The lessons of Supreme Command will be immediately apparent to all managers and leaders, as well as students of history.
