"This is one of the best--most surprising, insightful, provocative--books I've read on the complex interplay of memory, militarism and masculinity. Japan specialists will be sure to find it thought-provoking. But it should also be 'must reading' for all students of masculinity, femininity, militarization, and soldiering. This is comparative feminist ethnography at its smartest."--Cynthia Enloe, author of "The Curious Feminist: Searching for Women in a New Age of Empire" ""Uneasy Warriors" presents a rare and intimate view ...

"This is one of the best--most surprising, insightful, provocative--books I've read on the complex interplay of memory, militarism and masculinity. Japan specialists will be sure to find it thought-provoking. But it should also be 'must reading' for all students of masculinity, femininity, militarization, and soldiering. This is comparative feminist ethnography at its smartest."--Cynthia Enloe, author of "The Curious Feminist: Searching for Women in a New Age of Empire" ""Uneasy Warriors" presents a rare and intimate view into the psychological and social workings of the Self-Defense Forces. As the US and Japanese governments gear up to change the Japanese anti-war constitution, this book is even more important for understanding what the consequences will be."--Catherine Lutz, author of "Homefront: A Military City and the American 20th Century" "Sabine Fruhstuck expertly describes the ambiguous status of the Japanese Self Defense Forces. The book reveals insights gained from several years of sustained research, including a stint "in uniform" at an army base near Mt. Fuji. Fruhstuck's observations about the SDF's public relations emphasis on "cute" popular cultural media are timely and trenchant, as are her analyses of the militarization of masculinity and femininity."--Jennifer Robertson, author of "Takarazuka: Sexual Politics and Popular Culture in Modern Japan"
