Summary:"Rigorously researched and delicately textured, these essays are instructive for our times, making us think afresh about the varied and complex lives of ‘enemy encounters’, with their roots in geo-political histories and propaganda machineries on one hand and the innermost recesses of our psyche on the other." – Santanu Das, University of Oxford, UK "A rich and interdisciplinary collection which blends historical and literary approaches into an original collaborative study of representations of enemy encounters in modern war. The volume’s historical scope sometimes reveals that very contemporary debates about, for instance, killing and emotion actually have echoes in pre-twentieth-century war." – Catherine Baker, University of Hull, UK While the 1914 Christmas truces have a mythological status in British culture, intimate interactions with the enemy are, this interdisciplinary edited collection shows, a staple of modern warfare.
