VOYA Reviews December 2008
Individual chapters discuss various facets of military service, from basic training experiences to veteran concerns. More philosophical issues are covered as well, including discussions about the nature of patriotism and the affects of propaganda. Both liberal and conservative viewpoints are represented in most examples. Other chapters discuss military careers; racial, ethnic, and gender barriers; conscientious objectors; peace movements; and war zone experiences. Insets offer random facts about the military and sidebars offer quotes. With the pros and cons spelled out for each topic, teens will find this book useful for school assignments. Overall the information is useful and timely.
