Faith in the Fight tells a story of religion, soldiering, suffering, and death in the Great War. Recovering the thoughts and experiences of American troops, nurses, and aid workers through their letters, diaries, and memoirs, Jonathan Ebel describes how religion--primarily Christianity--encouraged these young men and women to fight and die, sustained them through war's chaos, and shaped their responses to the war's aftermath. The book reveals the surprising frequency with which Americans who fought viewed the war as a religious challenge that could lead to individual and national redemption. Believing in a \"Christianity of the sword,\" these Americans responded to the war by reasserting their religious faith and proclaiming America God-chosen and righteous in its mission. And while the war sometimes challenged these beliefs, it did not fundamentally alter them.

Keager reviews Making War at Fort Hood: Life and Uncertainty in a Military Community by Kenneth T. MacLeish.

Drawing on observations and interviews conducted during a year at Fort Hood, this ethnography provides a poignant account of military life, especially the impact of war on US soldiers and their families. The author covers the grotesque consequences of war as well as the less gory but still awful daily experiences of dealing with intense heat, sweat, cold food, warm water, recurring tours, and burdensome equipment.
