War has always been a central theme
of British history,but never more so than in the period since 1850.Since then,war reporting and mass communications have created a society that is not only fascinated by conflict,but one that has mass-produced martial heroes and epic adventures for political ends.To achieve national goals,the notion of war has been promoted as an activity of high adventure and chivalrous enterprise and as an essential rite of passage to manhood. 'Warrior Nation' explores the way in which images of battle,both literary and visual, have been constructed in fiction and popular culture.Drawing his sources from a wide range of media,Michael Paris focuses on how war has been 'sold' to young men and examines the warrior as a masculie ideal.
