| Summary |
"Brutality and Desire: War and Sexuality in Europe's Twentieth Century integrates military history with the histories of gender and sexuality in twentieth-century Europe. Wartime exigencies expose the contingency of both masculine and feminine gender roles. In a series of thoughtful essays, the authors unpick the complex intersections between sexuality (both coerced and consensual), war, and politics. They construct carefully historicized arguments, all of which pay attention to the specificities of each conflict."--BOOK JACKET |
