Sommario/riassunto |
|
Anthropologists in Arms traces the troubled history of social scientists' collaboration with national military, security, and intelligence organizations and analyzes the moral and ethical debates provoked by the rise of 'military anthropology'-particularly the practice of embedding anthropologists with combat troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. |
