About This Book

An exploration of life in the military, particularly rank and file servicemembers, to better comprehend the relationship of the armed forces to American society. Moskos examines, among other things, the portrayals of soldiers in the media from World War II to the Vietnam War, the changing technological and bureaucratic characteristics of the social organization of the armed forces, and political attitudes, pay grades, and demographics of servicemembers, as well as race relations among enlisted men and behavior of combat soldiers in Vietnam.

Charles C. Moskos, Jr. was a professor at Northwestern University and a sociologist of the United States military.
