Light It Up: The Marine Eye for Battle in the War for Iraq
John Pettegrew
An essential study for readers interested in modern warfare, policy makers, and historians of technology, war, and visual and military culture.
Marc Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index. Commendation Quotes: A bold, complex, wonderfully written book with a revolutionary thesis: that technologies of seeing and the outlook of marines combine to form a 'projection of force' beyond the traditional meaning of the concept. Provocative and original. Commendation Quotes: An intriguing book that will spark productive discussions in the classroom and beyond. Pettegrew's compelling account draws shocking and persuasive connections between videogames, optical technologies, and institutionalized violence. Biographical Note: John Pettegrew, an associate professor of history and director of the American Studies Program at Lehigh University, is the author of "Brutes in Suits: Male Sensibility in America, 1890-1920."
