Reviews

<br> When we say that military service 'builds men' we usually think of military socialization - dismantling the old and building the new man. Melissa Brown's careful reading of military advertisements returns us to the enticement, the gendered seduction of military masculinity. If boot camp is the 'shock, ' these ads of manhood based on glory, honor and manhood, are the 'awe. --Michael Kimmel, Distinguished Professor of Sociology, Stony Brook University, State University of New York, and author of Manhood in America<br><p><br> After reading Melissa Brown's smart, engaging Enlisting Masculinity, one never again will imagine a monolithic military. Brown shows us how each of the U.S. military's four branches has coped with its peculiar anxieties, while wielding its own myths and strategies to enlist 'just enough' women so that their own preferred masculinity can be preserved. Brown reveals that it hasn't been easy. --Cynthia Enloe, author of Nimo's War, Emma's War: Making Feminist Sense of the Iraq War<br><p><br> Written in a highly engaging style, this work raises interesting questions and should appeal to specialists and general readers alike. --CHOICE<p><br>
