Fight to Live, Live to Fight

"While veterans are often cast as a "problem" for society Fight to Live, Live to Fight: Veteran Activism after War challenges this view by focusing on the progressive, positive, and productive activism that veterans engage in. Author Benjamin Schrader weaves his own experiences as a former member of the American military and then as a member of the activist community with the stories of other veteran activists he has encountered across the United States. An accessible blend of political theory, international relations, and American politics, this book critically examines US foreign and domestic policy through the narratives of post-9/11 military veterans who have turned to activism after having exited the military. Veterans are involved in a wide array of activism including but not limited to: antiwar, economic justice, sexual violence prevention, immigration issues, and veteran healing through art. This is an accessible, captivating, and engaging work that may be read and appreciated not just by scholars, but also students and the wider public."--Provided by publisher.
