The purpose is to shed light on the history, politics, and main events that led to the choice of conscription or professional military forces in the countries under study. While we acknowledge that practical and technological developments played major roles in this choice, we also understand that racial and gender relations, social group and political regime dynamics, regional influences, and international forces also affected military composition and relations to the rest of the society. 606 $aRecruiting and enlistment 606 $aDraft$xHistory 606 $aMilitary service, Voluntary$xHistory 606 $aArmed Forces$xMinorities 615 0$aRecruiting and enlistment. 615 0$aDraft$xHistory. 615 0$aMilitary service, Voluntary$xHistory. 615 0$aArmed Forces$xMinorities. 676 $a355.2/2363 700 $aSimon$b Rita J$g(Rita James),$f1931-2013.$0904912 701 $aAbdel-Moneim$b Mohamed Alaa$01854873 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910969849303321 996 $aA handbook of military conscription and composition the world over$94452735 997 $aUNINA
