Reviews
'The purpose of Religion [in] the Military Worldwide is clear and important: to consider the role and effect of religion on military service from a broader perspective than has usually been the case. This goal entails a 'thick religion' approach to the study of religion and politics: considering theology, religious organization (hierarchy), symbol (iconography), and ceremony and belief (knowledge). The chapters in this book present a complex tapestry that shows positive, negative, and neutral effects of religion on the military.' Donald Downs, Alexander Meiklejohn Professor of Political Science, Law, and Journalism, University of Wisconsin, Madison
