Military operations and the mind : war ethics and soldiers' well-being
\"Offering a Canadian perspective on the emotional health of servicemen and women, Military Operations and the Mind brings together researchers and practitioners from across the country to consider the impact that ethical issues have on the well-being of those who serve. Stemming from an initiative to enhance the lives of serving members by providing them with the best education and training in military ethics before and after deployments, this volume will better inform politics and public policies and enhance the welfare of the soldiers, sailors, and airmen and women who serve in singular, often harsh, and sometimes dangerous conditions. By integrating into the analysis the critical issue of well-being, this emerging field demonstrates a more holistic approach and is distinct from other fields in military, historical, philosophical, and behavioural studies. The first study of its kind, Military Operations and the Mind presents a new and helpful way to focus on the life of soldiers not only in operations overseas, but also once they return home.\"-- Provided by publisher.

War and Remembrance
Memory, while seemingly a thing of the past, has much to reveal
in the present. With its focus on memory, War and
Remembrance provides new viewpoints in the field of war
representation. Bringing an interdisciplinary approach to
discussions of the cultural memory of war, the collection focuses
on narratives, either fictional or testimonial, that challenge
ideological discourses of war. The acts of remembrance and of
waging war are constantly evolving. A range of case studies -
analyzing representations of war in art, film, museums, and
literature from Nigeria, Australia, Sri Lanka, Canada, and beyond -
questions our current approaches to memory studies while offering
reinterpretations of established narratives. Throughout, a
commitment to Indigenous perspectives, to examining the ongoing
legacy of colonialism, and to a continued reckoning with the Second
World War foregrounds what is often forgotten in the writing of a
single, official history. War and Remembrance invites
readers to cast a reflexive look at wars and conflicts past - some
of them forgotten, others still vividly commemorated - the better
to understand the cultural, political, and social stake of memory
as a source of conflict and exchange, of resistance and opposition,
and of negotiation and reconciliation.
