Mastering Soldiers Conflict, Emotions, and the Enemy in an Israeli Military Unit

Studies of the military that deal with the actual experience of troops in the field are still rare in the social sciences. In fact, this ethnographic study of an elite unit in the Israeli Defense Force is the only one of its kind. Relying on the latest anthropological approaches to cognitive models and the social constructions of emotion and masculinity, the author offers an in-depth analysis of the dynamics that drive the men's attitudes and behavior, and a rare and fascinating insight into the reality of military life.Ben-Ari, Eyal is the author of 'Mastering Soldiers Conflict, Emotions, and the Enemy in an Israeli Military Unit' with ISBN 9781571818386 and ISBN 1571818383.
