Abstract

Uta Klein presents an informed, informative, and readable study about the complex relationships between the army and the gender relations in Israel. She shows how in a country in which war has been a constant presence since its beginnings and in which politics are dominated by military action males and females are being raised to participate in and identify with the military as a unifying element of society.
