Lendon, \'Soldiers and Ghosts\'
#13
For finish my recension , on can read Lendon with the J.Bourke's book "A intimate History of Killing" with attention to chapters I and II. We can read of ideologic influence of war films and war romances on the XX century soldiers. The necessity of exit from tha anonymity of modern battlefields , create a series of soldiers rituals, stories and images (also falses) for recreate themself in the mental world how individual warriors face the brutality of modern war. The ghost of warrior also in the modern soldier.
"Each historical fact needs to be considered, insofar as possible, no with hindsight and following abstract universal principles, but in the context of own proper age and environment" Aldo A. Settia
