Today it accompanies soldiers from the recruiting office to the battlefield. For this book, Jonathan Pieslak interviewed returning veterans to learn about the place of music in the Iraq War and in contemporary American military culture in general. Pieslak describes how American soldiers hear, share, use, and produce music both on and off duty. He studies the role of music from recruitment campaigns and basic training to its use "in country" before and during missions. Pieslak explores themes of power, chaos, violence, and survival in the metal and hip-hop music so popular among the troops, and offers insight into the daily lives of American soldiers in the Middle East.Iraq War, 2003-2011Music and the warPopular musicSocial aspectsSoldiersUnited StatesSocial conditionsUnited StatesArmed ForcesIraqIraq War, 2003-2011Music and the war.Popular musicSocial aspects.SoldiersSocial conditions.956.7044/38Pieslak Jonathan R913244MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910819685303321Sound targets4061297UNINA
