Kathleen Barry explores soldiers' experiences through a politics of empathy. By revealing how men's lives are made expendable for combat, she shows how military training drives to them kill without thinking and remorse, only to suffer trauma and loss of their own souls. She sheds new light on the experiences of those who are invaded and occupied.
Kathleen Barry asks: "What would it take to unmake war?" She scrutinizes the demilitarized state of Costa Rica and compares its claims of peace with its high rate of violence against women. She then turns to the urgent problem of how might men remake themselves by unmaking masculinity. She offers models for a new masculinity drawing on the experiences of men who have resisted war and have in turn transformed their lives into a new kind of humanity; into a place where the value of being human counts.
