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. 606 $aIraq War, 2003-2011$xMusic and the war 606 $aPopular music$xSocial aspects 606 $aSoldiers$zUnited States$xSocial conditions 607 $aUnited States$xArmed Forces$zIraq 615 0$aIraq War, 2003-2011$xMusic and the war. 615 0$aPopular music$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aSoldiers$xSocial conditions. 676 $a956.7044/38 700 $aPieslak$b Jonathan R$0913244 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819685303321 996 $aSound targets$94061297 997 $aUNINA
