Images of war saturated American culture between the 1940s and the 1970s, as U.S. troops marched off to battle in World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. Exploring representations of servicemen in the popular press, government propaganda, museum exhibits, literature, film, and television, Andrew Huebner traces the evolution of a storied American icon--the combat soldier. Huebner challenges the pervasive assumption that Vietnam brought drastic changes in portrayals of the American warrior, with the jaded serviceman of the 1960s and 1970s shown in stark contrast to the patriotic citizen-soldier of World War II. In fact, Huebner shows, cracks began to appear in sentimental images of the military late in World War II and were particularly apparent during the Korean conflict. Journalists, filmmakers, novelists, and poets increasingly portrayed the steep costs of combat, depicting soldiers who were harmed rather than hardened by war, isolated from rather than supported by their military leadership and American society. Across all three wars, Huebner argues, the warrior image conveyed a growing cynicism about armed conflict, the federal government, and Cold War militarization.

Stephen Turnbull, the world's leading authority on the samurai, goes beyond the battlefield to paint a picture of the samurai as they really were. This book explores the samurai within the context of an all-encompassing warrior culture that was expressed through art and poetry as much as through violence. Using themed chapters, Turnbull illuminates the samurai through their historical development and their relationship to the world around them – relationships that are shown to persist in Japan even today.

From a life-long student of the medieval long sword and medieval history comes a comprehensive overview of the Age of the Knights. Jones shows that behind the popular image of the knight in shining armor lies a world that is both more complex and more fascinating. Were knights glory-seeking, bloodthirsty thugs that lay ravage to the Holy Land or simple Christians serving their king? Jones explores the myths and controversies behind their battle-effectiveness and chivalric code. He also examines knighthood as a "career path" and investigates the role of the knight in law and justice. Lavishly illustrated and drawing on rare first-hand accounts, this book reveals the world of the knight in all its tarnished glory.

There is an arduous path that warriors walk, no matter where they live in the world. True warriors seek to learn what serves them and what does not, what is selfish and what is selfless, and how to decide in favor of light over dark. Like everyone else, the warrior owns the consequences, good or bad. In a how-to manual, modern-day warrior Rich Hungerford offers guidance and support to a new era of warriors desiring to positively impact the world while navigating the challenges of life. Intertwined with his often deeply-personal insights gathered from his own life journey is philosophical guidance on how to successfully walk the warriors’ path. Within the three stages of the journey, Hungerford candidly describes both the difficulties and rewards that accompany a warrior’s commitment to personal growth, provides an awareness of the importance of developing the mind, body, and spirit along the way, and encourages the acceptance of and surrender to a personal destiny with grace. The Warrior and the Wolf shares wisdom, insights, and advice for warriors seeking guidance on how to walk a spiritual path to develop the higher self, live true, and truly live.
